The Internal Enemy: Slavery and War in Virginia, 1772 – 1832

byAlan Taylor

Alan Taylor uses The Internal Enemy to investigate slavery and War in Virginia, 1772: 1832 through a carefully framed historical account. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the wider field of history. Attention to evidence keeps the discussion anchored while allowing disagreement, uncertainty, and unintended consequences to remain visible. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention. The emphasis stays on explanation, context, and the lived consequences behind the larger argument.
