I found a used copy of this fascinating biography of Robert Carter III, a slaveholder who liberated his slaves -- on his terms -- as an act to influence slavery policy. Andrew Levy has rescued Carter from complete obscurity. Carters exclusion from official American history seems to be on the basis of political embarrassment to other slaveholding founding fathers like Jefferson who refused to free their slaves. Carter decided to become a citizen and voluntarily end his privilege as a white noble.
