Lots of new followers so a brief intro: I'm a Northern Irish immigrant to the U.S., a husband, dad/foster dad, historian of the U.S. and slavery, and a prof in South Carolina /1

I will always miss Baltimore, though, where I spent 6 years before my current gig and got a proper education in every way /2

Maybe it's my background but I tend to view the U.S. in international perspective, both in the past and present. It's a useful frame /2

That comes across strongly in my new book, The Last Slave Ships, with Yale University Press. If you are interested, more via the link, as well as the usual places. Thanks for following! yalebooks.yale.edu/book/978030024…
