This book posits that the American Revolution - waged to form a
""more perfect union"" - still raged long after the guns went
silent. Eight major fugitive slave stories of the antebellum era
are described and interpreted to demonstrate how fugitive slaves
and their abolitionist allies embraced Patrick Henry's motto ""Give
me Liberty or Give me Death"" and the principles enshrined in the
Declaration of Independence. African Americans and white
abolitionists seized upon these dramatic escapes and captures to
exhort citizens to complete the Revolution by extending liberty to
all Americans. Casting fugitive slaves and their slave revolt
leaders as heroic figures, this book provides a broader
interpretation of American Revolutionaries seeking freedom for
themselves and their enslaved brethren.
