Kurzfassung:
"This book posits that the American Revolution--waged to form a "more perfect union"--still raged after the guns went silent. Eight fugitive slave stories of the antebellum era demonstrate how fugitive slaves and their abolitionist allies embraced Patrick Henry's motto "Give me Liberty or Give me Death" and the principles enshrined in the Declaration of Independence"--Provided by publisher
