What Does Liberty Mean for a Freedman?
Calabar was brought from Africa to North-Carolina as a
boy and sold on the docks as chattel property to a plantation
owner. On the plantation, he learned the intricacies of indigo
production, fell in love, and started a family.
Abruptly released from bondage, he must find his way in a
society that has no place for him, but which is itself struggling
with the threat of British domination. Reeling from personal
griefs, and drawn into the chaos of the Revolution, Calabar
knows that the wrong moves could cost him his freedom—and
that of the nation.
The Freedman is set in North-Carolina as part of the Tales From
a Revolution series, in which each standalone novel examines the
American War of Independence as it unfolded in a different
colony. If you like stories of strong characters striving to
overcome impossible challenges, you'll love The Freedman.
