Winner of the 2017 Frederick Douglass Prize A groundbreaking history of abolition that recovers the largely forgotten role of African Americans in the long march toward emancipation from the American Revolution through the Civil War Received historical wisdom casts abolitionists as bourgeois, mostly white reformers burdened by racial paternalism and economic conservatism. Manisha Sinha overturns this image, broadening her scope beyond the antebellum period usually associated with abolitionism and recasting it as a radical social movement in which men and women, black and white, free and enslaved found common ground in causes ranging from feminism and utopian socialism to anti-imperialism and efforts to defend the rights of labor. Drawing on extensive archival research, including newly discovered letters and pamphlets, Sinha documents the influence of the Haitian Revolution and the centrality of slave resistance in shaping the ideology and tactics of abolition. This book is a comprehensive new history of the abolition movement in a transnational context. It illustrates how the abolitionist vision ultimately linked the slave's cause to the struggle to redefine American democracy and human rights across the globe.

Best dog toy for extremely aggressive chewers!!!
Size: Large
Absolutely a great dog toy for extremely aggressive chewers! I have a pig pitbull that loves to chew! He has chewed through every toy I have ever bought pretty much right after I give it to him. This thing is durable he hasn’t made a hole or a tear in it yet and he hasn’t made went to town on it when I first gave it to him! I’m impressed!

Kong Works Well...
Size: Medium
Our German shepherd chews every ball we've ever purchased. The other balls are easier to throw for this 75yr old lady. But this Kong ball will out live any other ball I've ever gotten him. A tennis ball doesn't last an hour. Some other name brands takes him a full day to chew up. So far he's tried but gets nowhere with his new Kong. I seriously believe he just might not be able to chew this one up. Thanks Kong. I got the medium and it's a large ball.

Good For Heavy Chewers So Far
Color: Onyx Black - Most Durable
Solid quality. My Doberman is a power chewer and I am looking for a toy that he can't destroy in 2 seconds. If a ball lasts more than an hour it is a miracle. It has a sturdy design and is more heavy weight than the other "non-destructible" balls he has. He has only had his ball for one day so we will see how long this ball lasts him. It is the size of a tennis ball, firm, little to no bounce, and seems built for heavy chewing.

Great Product, 2 years and running!
Color: Onyx Black - Most Durable
It’s been almost 2 years and my dogs haven’t destroyed them yet. I have a Pitbull and a Pit/Cosro mix. They destroy every toy we’ve given them, except these toys. Great product 100% worth the money

Perfect for HEAVY chewers
Color: Onyx Black - Most Durable
My dog is a heavy chewer. Destroys everything that’s not very hard rubber, hard plastic, or hard material. He LOVES this ball. I think it’s his favorite. Plus, it bounces great so you can play with your dog. Very well constructed- probably indestructible or will at least last a very long time. Easily worth the money.
