		<description><![CDATA[Slavery in New England was brutal and lasted, in its official form, for 150 years. Enslavement greatly enriched the colonists and, later, citizens of New England, and only died out gradually and fitfully.
This is the proposition of an op-ed appearing in tomorrow&#8217;s Boston Globe, entitled &#8220;New England’s scarlet ‘S’ for slavery,&#8221; in honor of the [...]]]></description>
