A major study about America'a first Civil Rights movement in the years prior to the Civil War.Some of the major issues involve Northern states not allowing Black people entry over their state borders and free Black sailors being captured and jailed (illegally) at Southern ports with no hope of release.

A valuable new book on a neglected area of Americn History. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
