Summary
The Epilogue gives a brief overview of the main arguments and themes presented in the book, and explores the legacy of debates over British Emancipation within American political culture into the Civil War and Reconstruction. It also examines the unfinished business of the experiment in the British West Indies through the lens of conflicts between freedpeople and the colonial state decades after emancipation.
