Reseña del libro "Slavery, Equality, and the American Revolution (en Inglés)"
The year 2026 marks the 250th anniversaryof American independence, yet the nation's founding is controversial now inways it has not been in decades. The American Enterprise Institute offers amajor intellectual and educational project to reintroduce Americans to theunique value of their national inheritance. In the fifth volume of this series, legalscholars and political scientists discuss how the American Revolution both perpetuatedslavery and created the conditions for its abolition. While hundreds ofthousands of African Americans remained enslaved at the end of theRevolutionary War, the Declaration of Independence's assertion of humanequality galvanized slavery's opponents and laid the groundwork forincreasingly egalitarian definitions of American citizenship. Considering how the Declaration shapedantislavery thinkers and politicians such as Frederick Douglass and AbrahamLincoln and informed the 14th Amendment demonstrates how the AmericanRevolution enabled a "new birth of freedom" in the 19th century.
