Barnard, J: Creole Incident

The beginning of the end of slavery

Omschrijving

Democracy is being assailed by a domestic threat that actively seeks the take-over of the government. The year is 1836 and the United States of America is on the verge of losing its democracy.The Creole Incident is the true story of how the Constitution of the United States was saved by select members of the House of Representatives; a small group of radical abolitionists; and nineteen individuals - who were all slaves.Their goal was to arrest the increasing power of Southern Representation in Congress. At the heart of the story is the love between a slave and his wife and their determination to be free. These two stories become intertwined and reach a climax when Her Majesty's government decides the fate of those imprisoned in Nassau, Bahamas on charges of mutiny and murder. This intelligence sets in motion a series of dramatic floor fights in the United States House of Representatives as the balance of power between North and South ebbs and flows. It is an American story - for all Americans.
