Meer oor hierdie e-boek
In April 1849, seventy-six slaves? all household servants in Washington, D.C.? made a run for freedom on the schooner The Pearl. The escape was planned in part by Paul Jennings, a slave of President James Madison during and after his White House years and who later became a servant to Senator Daniel Webster. In this short-form book, New York Times bestselling historian Thomas Fleming vividly describes the shameful circumstances that drove the slaves to flee and the unsuccessful attempts by prominent national figures? including famed educator and lawyer Horace Mann? to defend them after their capture. The incident inspired Harriet Beecher Stowe to write Uncle Tom's Cabin.
