"The Negro and the Nation: A History of American Slavery and Enfranchisement" by George Spring Merriam is a history book that aims to look at how racial tensions began in the United States. Starting with the first slaves brought to the new world and continuing on through the Civil War and the reconstruction of the southern states in its aftermath.

Excerpt from The Negro and the Nation: A History of American Slavery and Enfranchisement An English traveler, riding along the banks of the Potomac in mid-July, 1798, saw ahead of him on the road an old-fashioned chaise, its driver urging forward his slow horse with the whip, until a sharp cut made the beast swerve, and the chaise toppled over the bank, throwing out the driver and the young lady who was with him. The traveler - it was John Bernard, an actor and a man of culture and accomplishments, spurred forward to the rescue. As he did so he saw another horseman put his horse from a trot to a gallop, and together they reached the scene of action, extricated the woman and revived her from her swoon with water from a brook; then righted the horse and chaise, helped to restore the half-ton of baggage to its place; learned the story of the couple - a New Englander returning home with his Southern bride - and saw them safely started again. Then the two rescuers, after their half-hour of perspiring toil in a broiling sun, addressed themselves courteously to each other; the Virginian dusted the coat of the Englishman, and as Mr. Bernard returned the favor he noticed him well, - "a tall, erect, well-made man, evidently advanced in years, but who appeared to have retained all the vigor and elasticity resulting from a life of temperance and exercise. His dress was a blue coat, buttoned to the chin, and buckskin breeches." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
