This book was released on 2008-06-13 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Slaveryâfuriously debated, yet recognized in the Constitutionâwas a stain on the nationâs consciousness since the founding of the Republic. As the country grew, legal battles erupted over the fate of fugitive slaves and the rights of slave-owners to take their property into free states. Nowhere was the issue more sharply drawn than in the nationâs capital, where government leaders saw first hand the shame and disgrace of legal slavery and the inherent moral conflict with guarantees in the Declaration of Independence. Decades of agitation for change came to fruition on April 16, 1862, when Abraham Lincoln signed legislation that ended slavery in the District of Columbiaânine months before the Emancipation Proclamation, which liberated slaves only in the Confederacy, and a full three years before ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment.

Download or read book Passenger on the Pearl written by Winifred Conkling and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2016-01-26 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NOW IN PAPERBACK! The page-turning, heart-wrenching true story of one young woman willing to risk her safety and even her life for a chance at freedom in the largest slave escape attempt in American history. In 1848, thirteen-year-old Emily Edmonson, five of her siblings, and seventy other enslaved people boarded the Pearl under cover of night in Washington, D.C., hoping to sail north to freedom. Within a day, the schooner was captured, and the Edmonsons were sent to New Orleans to be sold into even crueler conditions. Through Emily Edmonson’s journey from enslaved person to teacher at a school for African American young women, Conkling illuminates the daily lives of enslaved people, the often changing laws affecting them, and the high cost of a failed escape. “Clearly written, well-documented, and chock full of maps, sidebars, and reproductions of photographs and engravings, the fascinating volume covers a lot of history in a short space. Conkling uses the tools of a novelist to immerse readers in Emily’s experiences. A fine and harrowing true story.” —Kirkus Reviews “[Passenger on the Pearl] covers information about slavery that is often not found in other volumes . . . Conkling’s work is intricate and detailed . . . A strong and well-sourced resource.” —School Library Journal “Conkling is a fine narrator . . . Readers familiar with the trials of Solomon Northup will find this equally involving.” —The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books “Edmondson’s life story is compelling and inspiring. It provides the perfect hook for readers into the horrors of slavery.” —VOYA A Junior Library Guild Selection
