505 0 The near century-long demise of slavery -- Sounding the
egalitarian clarion -- The bloody struggle endures -- Coda
: free at last.
520 Perhaps no event in American history arouses more
impassioned debate than the abolition of slavery. Answers
to basic questions about who ended slavery, how, and why
remain fiercely contested more than a century and a half
after the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment. In The Long
Emancipation, Ira Berlin draws upon decades of study to
offer a framework for understanding slavery's demise in
the United States. Freedom was not achieved in a moment,
and emancipation was not an occasion but a near-century-
long process - a shifting but persistent struggle that
involved thousands of men and women. Berlin teases out the
distinct characteristics of emancipation, weaving them
into a larger narrative of the meaning of American
freedom. The most important factor was the will to survive
and the enduring resistance of enslaved black people
themselves. In striving for emancipation, they were also
the first to raise the crucial question of their future
status. If they were no longer slaves, what would they be?
African Americans provided the answer, drawing on ideals
articulated in the Declaration of Independence and
precepts of evangelical Christianity. Freedom was their
inalienable right in a post-slavery society, for nothing
seemed more natural to people of color than the idea that
all Americans should be equal. African Americans were not
naive about the price of their idealism. Just as slavery
was an institution initiated and maintained by violence,
undoing slavery also required violence. Freedom could be
achieved only through generations of long and brutal
struggle.
