Lately im interested in the history of America, slavery, the revolution and renaisance.

I’ve watched a few movies few days back that made me further my research in the area.
 

Some light reading if you’re interested :-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_the_United_States
More on the civil war, slavery, and the black/native americans
