Under the leadership of Samuel Adams, patriot propagandists conscientiously kept the issue of slavery off the agenda as goals for freedom were set for the American Revolution. This book finds that the patriots avoided, misinterpreted, or distorted news reports on blacks and slaves, even in the face of a vigorous antislavery movement.
A rich and rewarding investigation of the role of the newspapers in defining race, color, and slavery at the birth of the American nation. Bradley’s analysis of slavery as metaphor in revolutionary-era journalism becomes a powerful explanation of how the patriot press found the language that disseminated ideas and attitudes on free African Americans and slaves.
