Summary "The Negro in Tennessee, 1790-1865" by C. Perry Patterson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book examines the legal, social, economic, and religious status of African Americans from the introduction of slavery in North Carolina to the abolition of slavery in Tennessee. It provides a detailed exploration of the conditions faced by both enslaved and free Negroes during this significant period in American history. The opening portion of the book establishes the framework for the historical analysis by discussing the introduction and development of slavery in Tennessee, primarily influenced by earlier practices in North Carolina. The author outlines how slavery evolved from a mix of customary practices and codified laws, the beginnings of the legal framework around slavery, and the rights and restrictions imposed upon enslaved individuals. The preface emphasizes the focus of the study on various dimensions of the Negro's life, revealing a nuanced understanding of the complexities of slavery, societal views, and the gradual legal changes that occurred through the years leading to emancipation.
