Reviews
'The monumental history of Emancipation and Reconstruction is irresistible, but it can be deceptive. Giuliana Perrone directs us to the quieter lanes of American common law discourse, where the bitter realities of abolition's adjudication are to be found - the 'smaller, private legal matters' that piled up routinely, remorselessly, in the shadow of slavery. Those of us who wonder at Reconstruction's rejection and Emancipation's dire legacy can learn much from this eloquent history of legal failure.' Christopher Tomlins, author of In the Matter of Nat Turner: A Speculative History

Synopsis
Nothing More than Freedom explores the long and complex legal history of Black freedom in the United States. From the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment in 1865 until the end of Reconstruction in 1877, supreme courts in former slave states decided approximately 700 lawsuits associated with the struggle for Black freedom and equal citizenship. This litigation - the majority through private law - triggered questions about American liberty and reassessed the nation's legal and political order following the Civil War. Judicial decisions set the terms of debates about racial identity, civil rights, and national belonging, and established that slavery, as a legal institution and social practice, remained actionable in American law well after its ostensible demise. The verdicts determined how unresolved facets of slavery would undercut ongoing efforts for abolition and the realization of equality. Insightful and compelling, this work makes an important intervention in the history of post-Civil War law., After examining more than 700 lawsuits decided by the supreme courts of former slave states, Giuliana Perrone asserts that slavery remained actionable in American law well after its ostensible demise. An important study for scholars of slavery and the US Civil War.
