ebooks History of the Knights Templar by Charles G Addison in History

Description

A chronological account of nine decades of antislavery activity in Maryland; Delaware; and Virginia; culminating in the Civil War. Challenging slavery could entail negotiating for freedom by manumission; grasping freedom by flight or insurrection; or uniting with external allies in the American Revolution; the War of 1812; or the Civil War. Free black people also undermined slavery as workers; worshippers; teachers; and writers. Whites who aided black freedom seekers also played their part.
