About this audiobook
The American Slave Coast tells the horrific story of how the slavery business in the United States made the reproductive labor of "breeding women" essential to the expansion of the nation. The book shows how slaves' children, and their children's children, were human savings accounts that were the basis of money and credit. This was so deeply embedded in the economy of the slave states that it could only be decommissioned by Emancipation, achieved through the bloodiest war in the history of the United States. The American Slave Coast is an alternative history of the United States that presents the slavery business, as well as familiar historical figures and events, in a revealing new light.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5An amazing account of this nations history. When the book ends and the author states, “nobody alive today will ever understand what it was like to be alive during slave nation time!!” Well worth the time!! Knowledge is king!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A well written and necessary book. The Sublettes, who wrote this book, are wonderful authors. The book is an alternative history of the US from its founding until the emancipation proclamation; it makes sense to me that they conflate the gun issue with civil rights, arguing that the rednecks who imprisoned slaves needed guns to collect them and guns to protect against insurrection. There is one error, or possibly one. Robert Bunch who was the British Consul in Charleston, was not as they say pro se cessionist. There is a wonderful book that describes his life and it is called Our Man in Charleston. He kept England out of the war until it was too late to do anything, but Seward and the locals thought he was a secessionist but he was the opposite. This is not as good as The Half has never been Told but it is worth reading.
