Curriculum Vitae

My research concentrates on the social and political history of nineteenth-century America, particularly from about 1790 to about 1870. I have written about the history of secession, slavery, free African Americans, Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War, among other topics. My current research focuses on slave insurrections, fugitive slaves, black migration, and slaveholders. My interests tilt backward to the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries and include pertinent comparisons to developments in the larger Atlantic world.
