Abstract

Until well after the end of World War II, University of Michigan and Yale professor Ulrich B. Phillips' undisguised belief in Negro inferiority dominated the thinking of American historians. In 1956 Phillips' views were demolished by Yale professor and Pulitzer Prize winner Kenneth Stampp's The Peculiar Institution. Later the issue of the strength of the slave family came to be dominated by such scholars as Daniel Patrick Moynihan, E. Franklin Frazier, Stanley Elkins, and Herbert Gutman.
