The Garies and Their Friends was written in 1857 with a preface by
Harriet Beecher Stowe. Frank Webb was a black man born in
Philadelphia. Being one of the nearest free cities of any size to
the slave territory, it was been a sanctuary for escaping fugitive
or emancipated slaves. Mr. Garies was a slave-owning Southerner.
His beloved wife was once a slave. They had two mixed-race
children. To escape the racism of the South and the strict laws of
Georgia prohibiting freedom for the children, the family moves to
Philadelphia. They moved into a white neighborhood. Here they meet
their remarkable "friends," including the middle-class and black
Ellis family. They soon find out that Northern racism is different
and equally dangerous. The wife next door is appalled by their new
mixed-race neighbors, and her husband concocts a plot to rob the
Garies of their wealth.
