Description
Examines Mormonism in the context of American attitudes towards slavery and race, and the racial traditions it maintained for over a century. While Mormons may have drawn from a distinct theology to support racial views, their attitudes towards blacks were deeply-embedded in the national debates over slavery and anticipation of the last days.
