  1. A better understanding the legacy of slavery and its impact on life of Blacks in Massachusetts may be found books such as Joanne Pope Melish, Disowning Slavery: Gradual Emancipation and Race in New England, 1780-1860 (2000) and Arthur Zilversmit, First Emancipation: The Abolition of Slavery in the North (1967). These and similar works describe the history of slavery in New England.
