Stolen: Five Free Boys Kidnapped Into Slavery and Their Astonishing Odyssey Home by Richard Bell
5.0
Unbelievable story about the Reverse Underground Railroad. I heard about the Reverse Underground Railroad many years ago - history always goes into the Underground Railroad- but I believe the Reverse Underground Railroad needs to be taught in school just as much as the Underground Railroad.
This read like a novel-absolutely flying through the pages-many parts horrific, some liberating, and some hope; hope for humanity, just a drip of hope, that is.
Free men and women abducted from the north and shipped south all for free labor so the fat slave owners could expand profits. On land that was stolen from the American Natives, mind you. Just another history lesson on how white men and their greed will do anything to line their pockets.
