Black Portsmouth: Three Centuries of African-American Heritage (Revisiting New England) ReviewI grew up in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, immersed in the Colonial history the city proudly puts on display. Turns out that the city hid a key part of its history: Portsmouth was a major player in the slave trade. University of New Hampshire professor Valerie Cunningham compiled the research over several years. Author Mark J. Sammons used that research as the basis of this book. He does an admirable job detailing the extent of the slave trade, the roles that various prominent businessmen and statesmen (including Gov. John Langdon, a signer of the US Constitution), played in the trade, as well as the personal toll the trade took on enslaved Africans. Sammons also does an admirable job of tracing the evolution of Portsmouth and its surrounding communities. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to learn about a little-known aspect in this painful chapter in US history.Black Portsmouth: Three Centuries of African-American Heritage (Revisiting New England) Overview
