Download or read book Run to Freedom written by Craig Hayes and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-02-18 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Tommy Largent was five years old, he saw his father kill a man right before his eyes. If not for his mother's bravery and strength that night, they both would have surely perished as well. Now, six years later, Tommy isn't just bullied by the other kids in town, he's an outcast, branded forever from his father's crime. He seeks an escape in football, the game that he loves, and despite his short stature, was born to play. But his mother forbids him from playing, and even if she allowed it, the local coach won't even give him a tryout. So he resorts to playing in secret, tossing passes that only he can catch, and booting punts that will never be returned. But when he meets Flash Jackson, a local legend and former Pro ballplayer, he hatches a plan. Maybe if he could get Flash to coach him, to teach him the game, he could get good enough that the coach and even his mom would have to give him a chance to play. It won't be easy, Flash is now a recluse and hates the game that he once loved because it destroyed his body and broke his spirit. But even if Flash agrees to coach Tommy he will have to be more than his mentor; he will have to protect Tommy as well. You see Rick Largent has gotten a huge break and is now out of prison, and he has one thing on his mind, to finish what he started.

Book Synopsis South to Freedom by : Alice L Baumgartner
Download or read book South to Freedom written by Alice L Baumgartner and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2020-11-10 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brilliant and surprising account of the coming of the American Civil War, showing the crucial role of slaves who escaped to Mexico. The Underground Railroad to the North promised salvation to many American slaves before the Civil War. But thousands of people in the south-central United States escaped slavery not by heading north but by crossing the southern border into Mexico, where slavery was abolished in 1837. In South to Freedom, historianAlice L. Baumgartner tells the story of why Mexico abolished slavery and how its increasingly radical antislavery policies fueled the sectional crisis in the United States. Southerners hoped that annexing Texas and invading Mexico in the 1840s would stop runaways and secure slavery's future. Instead, the seizure of Alta California and Nuevo México upset the delicate political balance between free and slave states. This is a revelatory and essential new perspective on antebellum America and the causes of the Civil War.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1848 William and Ellen Craft made one of the most daring and remarkable escapes in the history of slavery in America. With fair-skinned Ellen in the guise of a white male planter and William posing as her servant, the Crafts traveled by rail and ship--in plain sight and relative luxury--from bondage in Macon, Georgia, to freedom first in Philadelphia, then Boston, and ultimately England.

Eleven annotated supplementary readings, drawn from a variety of contemporary sources, help to place the Crafts’ story within the complex cultural currents of transatlantic abolitionism.

Book Synopsis Freedom's Frontier by : Stacey L. Smith
Download or read book Freedom's Frontier written by Stacey L. Smith and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2013-08-12 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most histories of the Civil War era portray the struggle over slavery as a conflict that exclusively pitted North against South, free labor against slave labor, and black against white. In Freedom's Frontier, Stacey L. Smith examines the battle over slavery as it unfolded on the multiracial Pacific Coast. Despite its antislavery constitution, California was home to a dizzying array of bound and semibound labor systems: African American slavery, American Indian indenture, Latino and Chinese contract labor, and a brutal sex traffic in bound Indian and Chinese women. Using untapped legislative and court records, Smith reconstructs the lives of California's unfree workers and documents the political and legal struggles over their destiny as the nation moved through the Civil War, emancipation, and Reconstruction. Smith reveals that the state's anti-Chinese movement, forged in its struggle over unfree labor, reached eastward to transform federal Reconstruction policy and national race relations for decades to come. Throughout, she illuminates the startling ways in which the contest over slavery's fate included a western struggle that encompassed diverse labor systems and workers not easily classified as free or slave, black or white.
