Descriere magazin:
From the bestselling author of the Don\'t Know Much About] books, this lavishly designed, fully illustrated edition examines American slavery through the true stories of five enslaved people who were considered the property of some of the nation\'s best-known presidents. Did you know that many of America\'s Founding Fathers--who fought for liberty and justice for all--were slave owners? Through the powerful stories of five enslaved people who were owned by four of our greatest presidents, this middle-grade nonfiction 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, personal manservant and lifelong slave of Andrew Jackson, these dramatic narratives explore our country\'s great tragedy--that a nation conceived in liberty 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 US history books. Their stories are true--and they should be heard. This thoroughly-researched and documented book by Kenneth C. Davis can be worked into multiple aspects of the Common Core curriculum. It is a great resource for young students of United States history.
