Did you know that many of Americaâs Founding Fathersâwho fought for liberty and justice for allâwere slave owners?
Through the powerful stories of five enslaved people who were âownedâ by four of our greatest presidents, this book helps set the record straight about the role slavery played in the founding of America. From Billy Lee, valet to George Washington, to Alfred Jackson, faithful servant of Andrew Jackson, these dramatic narratives explore our countryâs great tragedyâthat a nation âconceived in libertyâ was also born in shackles.
These stories help us know the real people who were essential to the birth of this nation but traditionally have been left out of the history books. Their stories are trueâand they should be heard.
This thoroughly-researched and documented book can be worked into multiple aspects of the common core curriculum. - McMillan Palgrave
