- Title
Informants and Artifacts: Local Histories' Representations of Bondage and the Precarious States of Freedom in Northeastern Vermont.
- Authors
BALZANO, RICHARD M.
- Abstract
Vermont's popular historical memory has long clung to the Green Mountain State's pioneering 1777 abolition of slavery, but in doing so avoiding, if not evading, the practice of de facto slavery and nuanced forms of bondage, the presence and contributions of people and communities of color, ambivalence toward emancipation, and systemic and overt racism that persisted well into the nineteenth century and beyond.
