Subject: This book tells us the history of the colonial periods during which tobacco producers in Virginia exploited slave labour to ensure the profitability of their agricultural enterprises. The Civil War brought change however, the abolition of slavery combined with changing market conditions. The author traces the transformation from this stage to the advent of emancipation to the stirrings of African American migration at the turn of the twentieth century.
