Secret Life of Bacon Tait, a White Slave Trader Married to a Free Woman of Color

Historians have long discussed the interracial families of prominent slave dealers in Richmond, Virginia, and elsewhere, yet, until now, the story of slave trader Bacon Tait remained untold. Hank Trent tells Tait's complete story for the first time, reconstructing the hidden aspects of his strange and often paradoxical life.

Istoricii au discutat de multa vreme despre familiile interrasiale ale unor comercianti de sclavi proeminenti din Richmond, Virginia si din alte parti, insa, pana acum, povestea comerciantului de sclavi Bacon Tait a ramas nespusa. Printre cei mai proeminenti si mai bogati cetateni din Richmond, Bacon Tait a inceput o dubla viata izbitoare si neasteptata: cea a unui negustor de sclavi albi casatorit cu o femeie neagra libera.
