Fort Mose: Colonial America's Black Fortress of Freedom / Edition 1

by Kathleen A. Deagan, Darcie A. Macmahon

Overview

This book tells the story of Fort Mose and the people who lived there.  It challenges the notion of the American black colonial experience as only that of slavery, offering instead a richer and more balanced view of the black experience in the Spanish colonies from the arrival of Columbus to the American Revolution.
