ePub Myths and Folklore of Ireland by Jeremiah Curtin in History

Description

Freedom by Any Means explains how African Americans resorted to using extraordinary methods to maintain their seemingly impossible personal relationships during the antebellum period. Besides running away together or raising money to buy their freedom; loved ones filed successful lawsuits; became military spies or counterspies; and used rumors of voodoo to create bluffs and tricks in order to survive. Riveting and surprising; Betty DeRamus captures the tumultuous lives of the humans in inhumane situations who were able to salvage their families and marriages and achieve freedom together against tremendous odds. Freedom by Any Means also features the return of many of the beloved figures from her previous book Forbidden Fruit; including Lucy Nichols; Al and Margaret Wood; and Sylvia and Louis Stark. This inspiring account; steeped in rich historical research; attests to the resolve of the human spirit and reveals how men and women were willing to risk it all to escape the slavery.
