In the Shadow of Freedom: The Politics of Slavery in the National Capital - Perspectives on the History of Congress, 1801–1877
Paul Finkelman
Few images of early America were more striking, and jarring, than that of slaves in the capital city of the world’s most important free republic. Black slaves served and sustained the legislators, bureaucrats, jurists, cabinet officials, military leaders, and even the presidents who lived and worked there.
