Five young, free black boys are lured onto a small ship with the promise of food and pay. They are instead met with blindfolds, ropes, and knives. Over four long months, their kidnappers drive them overland into the Cotton Kingdom to be sold as slaves. Determined to resist, the boys form a tight brotherhood as they struggle to free themselves and find their way home. Their ordeal shines a spotlight on the Reverse Underground Railroad, a black market network of human traffickers and slave traders who stole away thousands of legally free African Americans from their families in order to fuel slavery's rapid expansion in the decades before the Civil War. -- adapted from jacket 505 0 $a Introduction: The reverse Underground Railroad -- Sanctuary city -- Black hearts -- Midnight land -- In-laws and outlaws -- The beaten way -- The body in the wagon -- The halfway house -- The lifeboat -- A living witness -- Hunting wolves -- Kidnappers all -- Conclusion: The first law of nature. 650 0 $a Child slaves $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Kidnapping victims $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Fugitive slaves $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a African Americans $v Biography. 650 0 $a Free African Americans $x History $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Slavery $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 651 0 $a United States $x History $x History $y 19th century. 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / 19th Century. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / African American. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Slavery. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a African Americans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799558 650 7 $a Child slaves. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00854675 650 7 $a Fugitive slaves. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00935940 650 7 $a Kidnapping victims. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00987328 650 7 $a Race relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 650 7 $a Slavery. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120426 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 650 7 $a Slaves $v Biography. $2 sears 650 7 $a Kidnapping victims $v Biography. $2 sears 650 7 $a African Americans $x Biography. $2 sears 650 7 $a Slavery $z United States. $2 sears 651 7 $a United States $x Race relations. $2 sears 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 0 $a Biography. 655 0 $a History. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a History. $2 lcgft 941 $a 3 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240302012147.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201022900.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20210109010442.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=56B69D6E524811EB9908E9352EECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
