About my libraryMy library consists of books mainly dealing with 19th century american history. I started off reading everything I could about the american civil war, the deeper I got into this subject the more I was led to books dealing with why the civil war happened, I am now concentrating on books about slavery and race relations during this time period(and earlier). I feel that it's impossible to fully understand much of early (and modern)American history without looking at how slavery shaped the American Republic.
