Reviews
"For those seeking to understand complex and ever-changing systems of taxation, their relationship to local and national politics, and how the state and local systems were shaped by the 'peculiar institution,' this seminal and innovative investigation will provide many answers." - Loren Schweninger, American Historical Review "[Einhorn] tells what might have been a complicated story in an engaging and accessible manner. It is her contention that slavery and the reaction to it to a great extent shaped the kind of nation we are today, because it shaped the kind of tax policies we constructed to fund the kind of government we got.... Required reading for anyone who ponders the impact of slavery on our lives today." - James Srodes, Washington Times"
