Through careful, detailed consideration of a host of primary
documents about the young activists who formed the Underground
Railroad's underappreciated operational workforce, this book offers
fresh insight to the complex question, "Who ended slavery?" Bound
for the Future: Child Heroes of the Underground Railroad
illuminates the vital contributions of specific, underappreciated
child activists within the extremely local circumstances of their
daily work. It also provides meaningful context to the actions of
these young activists within the much broader social practice of
resisting slavery, and offers fresh insight into the complicated
question of who was responsible for ending slavery. Through a
thorough examination of these subjects, author Jonathan Shectman
proves his central thesis: in many specific cases, children were
the essential lifeblood of the Underground Railroad's operational
workforce. This text will appeal to wide range of readers,
including young students, educators, scholars, and anyone seeking a
fresh perspective on civil rights, anti-slavery activism, and U.S.
history.
