Description
Ellen Craft and William Craft recount their perilous journey to freedom in this gripping account of escape from slavery. In 1841, they embarked on a 1,000-mile run through the Deep South, driven by their conviction that all men are created equal and endowed with certain inalienable rights.
The American Declaration of Independence's assertion that "all men are created equal" was a powerful inspiration for the Crafts' daring attempt to claim their own freedom. This book provides an intimate and harrowing account of their escape, as well as other matter which they hope may create a deeper abhorrence of the practice of enslaving and brutifying fellow-creatures.
