Slavery, Resistance, and the Underground Railroad in the Detroit River Borderland
Omschrijving
As the gateway into British North America for travellers on the Underground Railroad, the US/Canadian border along the Detroit River was a boundary that determined whether thousands of enslaved people could reach a place of freedom and opportunity. Karolyn Smardz Frost and Veta Smith Tucker explore the experiences of the area’s freedom-seekers and advocates, both black and white.
