Books by David Hackett Fischer

5. David Hackett Fischer, African Founders: How Enslaved People Expanded American Ideals .  An extended history of U.S. slavery, focusing on regional differences, for instance Carolina Gullahs vs. New Orleans vs. Mississippi.  As you might expect, the broader story is integrated with that of the particular African origins of the slaves as well.  A strong book, recommended.

The author is David Hackett Fischer and the subtitle is A History of Two Open Societies: New Zealand and the United States .  Excerpt:

Albion's Seed is an excellent book but it is too long.  What have I forgotten?  Should I have more on Mormons?
