A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice
A Foreign Affairs Best Book of the Year

Americans revere the Constitution even as they argue fiercely over its original toleration of slavery. In this essential reconsideration of the creation and legacy of our nation's founding document, Sean Wilentz reveals the tortured compromises that led the Founders to abide slavery without legitimizing it, a deliberate ambiguity that fractured the nation seventy years later. Contesting the Southern proslavery version of the Constitution, Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass pointed to the framers' refusal to validate what they called "property in man." No Property in Man has opened a fresh debate about the political and legal struggles over slavery that began during the Revolution and concluded with the Civil War. It drives straight to the heart of the single most contentious issue in all of American history.

"Revealing and passionately argued... Wilentz] insists that because the framers did not sanction slavery as a matter of principle, the antislavery legacy of the Constitution has been...'misconstrued' for over 200 years."
--Khalil Gibran Muhammad, New York Times

"Wilentz's careful and insightful analysis helps us understand how Americans who hated slavery, such as Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass, could come to see the Constitution as an ally in their struggle."
--Eric Foner

Non stick not good.
Size: 10-Piece Set, Color: Copper

Easy to clean,
Size: 10-Piece Set, Color: Copper
Oh, my! This cookware is amazing! It's heavy gauge aluminum so very doubtful it would ever warp as my last set of thin aluminum did. I like the steam escape holes in the lids. Very nice set and a great price. I'd highly recommend?

Great pans at excellent price
Color: Ivory
I waited way too long to purchase these pans. GAMECHANGER. I love the pans, they cook perfectly, no stick and cleanup, a spray and a wipe and spotless. I have purchased many pans that have let me down and ended up in the garbage. I love the beautiful white color also. Excellent price. I could go on and on…

Amazing deal!
Color: Linen Gray
This was my first time trying a ceramic pan, and I’ve only had these three days, but so far I am in love. I’ve made grilled sandwiches, scrambled eggs and fried shrimp with the tiniest bit of butter in the pan, and no sticking! Cleanup is so easy. Just wipe with a sponge, rinse and dry. They’re nice and heavy, so heating is fairly even. Nice stainless steel handles so they can be used in the oven. And I got three of them for just over $30 on a flash deal, which is insane considering the high quality. Great value for the money! Will have to see how they hold up. I did purchase new softer silicone utensils to keep the surface nice. And I’ve laid down the law to hubby… NO non-stick spray on these!

Absolutely as good as other brands!
Color: Linen Gray
A nice looking set of non stick pans! I have bought GreenPan and GreenLife? pans over the last 15-20 years. None have ever lasted more than about 3 years. I do cook a lot. These work as well and I like the price. Clean up easily. They have good heat distribution. Don’t know how long they will last, but for the price, it will be good. They are truly nonstick. Heavier than expected. Quality pans…not flimsy at all. I highly recommend these!
