Steven Deyle, CARRY ME BACK: THE DOMESTIC SLAVE TRADE IN AMERICAN LIFE. http://ift.tt/1GifHFJ I’d be interested to hear Anthony Gregory’s thoughts if he’s had a chance to read it. Deyle has a really interesting claim about something we’ve talked about previously, viz. the puzzle of the Deep South’s seeming overreaction to Lincoln’s election. (Which Deyle, interestingly, suggests actually had more to do with their anxieties about the fate of the Upper South than it had to do with any *direct* threat to slavery posed by Lincoln or the North as of 1860.)
