How is it that America cries "freedom," but delivers slavery, war, and death? The same tensions we see today from Black Mesa and Standing Rock to Ferguson and Kenosha have racked America since its founding. Below John Adams returns to the origin point of this nightmare, examining the roles that race, law, and religion played in colonial conquest and trade in the American Northeast. From Native self-defense and African defiance to Caribbean pirates and mutinous servants, this is a tale of the tumultuous world at the roots of the American Revolution and our modern society—the end of which remains unwritten.
