African Americans in the Thirteen Colonies (Cornerstones of Freedom)
Cornerstones of freedomDescription
This accessible history explores the lives and experiences of African Americans in the thirteen colonies, from the arrival of the first Africans through the era of the American Revolution. It examines the development of slavery, the work and communities of enslaved people, and the ways African Americans resisted oppression and preserved their families, cultures, and hopes for freedom. Clear narrative and historical context illuminate both the hardships of colonial life and the significant contributions African Americans made to the colonies’ growth. Designed for young readers, the book encourages a deeper understanding of America’s colonial past and the people whose stories are an essential part of it.
