The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism by Edward E. Baptist

3.0

The first half of this book was really good, unfortunately, the latter half of the book bored me to tears with its talk of the BUS and all the political jockeying around the expansion of slavery. I only finished the book (painfully) because I'm reading it for an upcoming class. I did learn a lot of new things, so the book wasn't a total dud, I just wish the last half of the book could have been condensed, clarified, and cut in half.
