 Slavery
and the Making of America by
James Oliver Horton,
Lois E. Horton (Hardcover -
November 1, 2004) ~ The history of slavery is central to understanding the
history of the United States.
Slavery and the Making of America offers a richly illustrated, vividly
written history that illuminates the human side of this inhumane institution,
presenting it largely through stories of the slaves themselves. Readers
will discover a wide ranging and sharply nuanced look at American slavery,
from the first Africans brought to British colonies in the early seventeenth
century to the end of Reconstruction. The authors document the horrors of
slavery, particularly in the deep South, and describe the valiant struggles
to escape bondage, from dramatic tales of slaves such as
William Ellen Craft to
Dred Scott's doomed attempt to win
his freedom through the Supreme Court. Along the way, readers meet such
individuals as
'Black Sam' Fraunces, a West Indian
mulatto who owned the Queen's Head Tavern in New York City, a key meeting
place for revolutionaries in the 1760s and 1770s. Indeed, the book is filled
with stories of remarkable African Americans, from Sergeant
William H. Carney, who won the Congressional
Medal of Honor for his bravery at the crucial assault on Fort Wagner during
the Civil War, to
Benjamin 'Pap' Singleton, a former
slave who led freed African Americans to a new life on the American frontier.
With more than one hundred illustrations,
Slavery and the Making of America is a gripping account of the struggles
of African Americans against the iniquity of slavery. |
