This book was well written. It gave knowledge of the events leading up to the Civil War and the struggles black people had to face to gain their freedom.

By Eleanor Austin Lambert

I gave 5 stars because a lot of research was made and I was an absolute wonderful story about slavery and so well written.

There was nothing I disliked and absolutely liked the way it was written, easy to read and understand

I would recommend from 15 and up would get a lot of knowledge as to the way things were.
