 Rough
Crossings: Britain, the Slaves and the American Revolution
by
Simon Schama (Author) (Hardcover -
April 25, 2006) Other Edition(s):
Audio CD ~ The myths we create about our past to edify our young
and swell our national pride are nearly always noble and simple. History
is much messier, often complicating our myths with inconvenient facts that
ruin their simplicity and muddy their nobility.
Simon Schama's book
Rough Crossings is a case in point. It is the story of the slaves
of the American patriots who were not included in the liberty that their
masters fought for, or in the stirring phrases of the Declaration of Independence
- slaves whose only path to liberty was to take up arms and fight alongside
the British against their masters, and against the cause of a liberty that
would keep them in bondage. It is a most interesting and disturbing story
that neither begins nor ends with the
American Revolution. |
