"Although the passage of the Northwest Ordinance in 1787 banned African American slavery in the Upper Mississippi River Valley, slavery as a practice persisted in the region through the end of the Civil War. This work explores all facets of the "peculiar institution" in this peculiar location and its impact on the social and political development"--Provided by publisher
