The Re-Enslavement of Black Americans from the Civil War to World War II
is a Pulitzer Prize-winning book by American writer Douglas A. Blackmon.
The book explores the forced labor of imprisoned African American men and women through the convict lease system used by southern states, local governments, white farmers, and corporations after the American Civil War until World War II in the southern United States. Blackmon presents evidence that slavery in the United States did not end with the Civil War, instead persisting well into the 20th century.
