America's Long Struggle against Slavery
Richard Bell, PhD Professor, University of Maryland, College Park

This might be worth a look.

Many historical views of American slavery only look at small parts of this enormous struggle, focusing on single events or a small segment of famous figures. But to understand America—to fully understand our country today—one must examine the whole history of struggle, oppression, and resistance, not only by famous figures like Abraham Lincoln and Harriet Tubman, but also by an enormous and often unfamiliar cast of characters, including:

The “saltwater slaves” who revolted aboard slave ships and chose suicide over an unknown future;
Phibbah Thistlewood, a woman who made the best of her situation to bridge the gap between her master and her fellow slaves;
David Walker, Nat Turner, and other figures calling for immediate, urgent action; and
Northern Quakers, pamphleteers, preachers, and school teachers who changed the political tide.
