He is a wonderful author, co-author, and co-editor and has published thirteen books, forty-five articles, and many book reviews. The book demonstrates how the early colonials had identified the ideals of complete abolition of slavery. Overview Race and Revolution is a well written concise book on the revolutionary periods of America. Slavery has been a peculiar topic for discussion both socially and politically in the state over the decades since the colonist arrived four hundred years ago. Nash has really changed a lot of wrong conclusion of many about the slavery during that period. He says that Americans had lost interest in constitutionally freeing the African American slaves. He discussed whether it was the northerners who had less interest in slavery or the political leaders who battled to bring the colonies out from the British control. Throughout the book Nash holds the view of freeing the slaves as he often creates situations that are in accordance with, as he writes, “we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal. that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights” (p.80). ...

Race and Revolution: Content To historians of the twentieth-century the question of race was only a matter of less attention which is mentioned by Staughton Lynd in his essays (cited in Nash, 2001, p. 4). Nation’ leaders excused the need for abolishing slavery as they thought the matter to be usual situation. From 1950 to 1960 the Consensus historians made new judgments on abolitionism. They found that the topic of abolitionism was worth studying, but that mere study could not contribute anything to the efforts of the revolutionary generation. Thus the readers of America history found that the historians were ‘impractical, immoderate’ and against the revolutions (Nash, P. 5). Nothing could resolve the America’s race problem, even the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s. The historians of our era give an explanation for the failure of the revolutionary generation to abolish slavery. If the leaders had forced to abolish the slavery then the southern states would have lost the political union, which was a little shaky after the war. However there had been chances to abolish the slavery as the new system called environmentalism was introduced and it was at its peak stage. Environmentalism was against slavery and suggested for the abolition of it. The American historians were not willing to speak about the anti-slavery revolutions. Creating a political system was the major consideration of historians rather than intervening into the issues of slavery. While in the steps taken for the rejoining of the union caused the oppression of the slaves. If south was forced to abolish slavery then Georgia and Carolina would disagree in joining the union.
