Description

"In Migrants against Slavery Philip J. Schwarz suggests that antislavery migrant Virginians, both the famous - such as fugitive Anthony Burns and abolitionist Edward Coles - and the lesser known, deserve closer scrutiny. Their migration and its aftermath, he argues, intensified the national controversy over human bondage, playing a larger role than previous historians have realized in shaping American identity and in Americans' effort to define the meaning of freedom."--BOOK JACKET.
