"This fascinating study uses the tools and sources of diplomatic history to examine a sweep of national and international history far beyond the confines of diplomacy... For Horne, the slave trade, rather than slavery, was an explosive political issue much later in the 19th century that is normally understood. Highly recommended." -Choice "An important study that starts with the proposition that what happens abroad affects developments in the United States. For the first time we are made aware of the extensive contacts between pro-slavery forces in the United States in the years after the abolition of the slave trade and the promoters of slavery in and the slave trade to Brazil and elsewhere." -Richard J. M. Blackett,author of Divided Hearts: Britain and the American Civil War "Horne expertly interweaves the political views presented in official documents with personal commentary from letters and travel accounts... It is valuable for scholars of U.S. foreign policy due to its coverage of diplomacy between the United States and other nations. This work contributes to the study of U.S. South since Horne details the plans of some southern leaders and planter elites who looked to Brazil as the answer when all was lost in the United States. " -The Journal of Southern History "[Horne] depicts through rich description and numerous examples the many tentacles of the transatlantic slave trade in the nineteenth century." -Journal of Latin American Studies "A well-researched, skillfully-written, and carefully-argued diplomatic history examining connections between the United States, Brazil, Africa, and Europe as they relate to the transatlantic slave trade. Horne sheds considerable light upon the ideas, ruminations, and practices of U.S. nationals in their interactions with and encounters of Brazil over the question of slavery, especially from the mid-nineteenth century on, and makes a valuable and important contribution to our knowledge and understanding of (American) hemispheric relations and trajectories, both eventual and potential." -Michael A. Gomez,editor of Diasporic Africa: A Reader "In The Deepest South, U.S. diplomatic historian Gerald Horne provides a fascinating look at an important topic ... In eleven chapters marked by significant strengths, the author argues that the histories of the two largest slaveholding nations (the United States and Brazil) of the western hemisphere were closely intertwined throughout the nineteenth century."-Mary Ann Mahoney,The Americas
