Reviews
"""Michael Pregot's follow-up to Sea Captains of Cape Cod is a valuable resource for those sleuthing for a perspective on New England's history of enslavement. He brings to light varied dimensions of slavery: enslaved Indigenous people, abuse of indentured servants, forced involuntary servitude of minors, and the harsh legal systems that kept an immoral practice alive and well for centuries. Very enlightening.""-Roger A. Smith, author of Rian Krieger's Journey series ""This is an important conversation for us to be having right now. Kudos to Michael Pregot for bringing the subject to the light of day.""-Sally Cabot Gunning, author of the critically acclaimed The Widow's War and Painting the Light ""To many in New England, the idea that Cape Cod sea captains were connected to the slave trade seemed downright shocking. In Slavery and Abolitionism on Cape Cod, historian Michael Pregot's extensive research covers the who, what, where, how, and why of one of the most controversial chapters in Cape Cod and Bay State history.""-Don Wilding, author of Historic Storms of Cape Cod and Shipwrecks of Cape Cod: Stories of Tragedy and Triumph"
