Challenging Slavery in the Chesapeake Black and White Resistance to Human Bondage, 1775-1865

"The very cradle of American slavery, the Chesapeake, brought forth vigorous resistance to that terrible institution. Now T. Stephen Whitman describes the ideas, attitudes, and complex human relationships that gave if form and momentum." "Rising from these pages are the idealists - Benjamin Lundy, William Lloyd Garrison, William Still, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper and Frederick Douglass - whose pens and voices would not be stilled. Here, too, are the writers - Harriet Tubman, Gabriel, Nat Turner, William Parker, John Brown, - who wrote their names in fire, and whose mass escapes and fearsome revolts stunned and terrified the Tidewater social order."--BOOK JACKET.Whitman, T.
