Book Suggestion: James Oglethorpe, Father of Georgia: A Founders Journey from Slave Trader to Abolitionist James Oglethorpe, Father of Georgia uncovers how Oglethorpes philosophical and moral evolution from slave trader to abolitionist was propelled by his intellectual relationships with two formerly enslaved Black men.

Thurmond rewrites the prehistory of abolitionism and adds an important new chapter to Georgia’s origin story. James F. Brooks (Foreword)
