Review of "From Slave to Separate but Equal"


Book: From Slave to Separate but Equal

By: Paul Kalra


Blurb

A century and a half ago the first shots fired at Fort Sumter began the Civil War that claimed 620,000 American lives—more than all other wars the country has waged. In From Slave to Separate but Equal, Paul Kalra challenges the assumption that the Civil War was fought to end black slavery in the United States.

Review:

The book From Slave to Separate but equal, as the name suggests, is a Colonial Period History book that talks about the ancient American society. The Ancient American history events are very well explained by the author with the beautiful portraying of events through his words. 

The book talks about the four tried society, slavery system, the differences amongst the people of the society and how each and every event led to the freedom of the blacks. 


The blacks were denied their basic rights as a human and were living painful life similar to animals. The book gives information about various civil rights and the wars that led to the freedom of the people.


The Lincoln's Plan to the demon of the society and many such events are highlighted in the book with a well explained background f the situation prevailing at that time. 


The author has well researched about the events and the incidents that took place in the past through papers, books and many more which has made this book more clear with the flow of events. The author has been able to maintain the pace of the story in a great way that none of the events seem exaggerated or too crisp.


Over all, the book seems to be a lengthy one but has covered almost the most important events related to Colonial Period History. The language is easy to understand with almost no use of jargons. There can be no other title as suitable as this.


Overall, a great history book.
