Africans were enslaved during this time in America we know that but what about other races such as Asians or Hispanics? Were they in America and if so, would they be enslaved as well because they weren't white?? I always wonder about the non-white or black history of this time period.
@LunaSol29 Hispanic is not a race. "Hispanic" people are of African, Native American and European descent. The European colonists from Spain and Portugal mixed with the African and Native American slave women, which is why today Hispanic/Latino people speak Spanish.
Asians didn't immigrate to America until much later.

I loved the book. I heard Jacobs actually didn't write the book. It some white female abolitionist she took up with.
I choose to believe Jacobs wrote the book.
That was the best I think 500 page argument about why slavery is wrong I've ever read.
