Complicated Lives

Pages : 212
Book Description
"This narrative nonfiction book contains stories of people of African origin who were never enslaved, born free, or who obtained liberty through court proceedings in the U.S. They lived in a society that sought to systematically deprive them of liberty and other human rights. This history of Free Blacks in Virginia reveals the human ability to persevere against adverse odds arising from the color of their skin, or their gender, or both. It interweaves legal history with stories of what happened to those African Americans who were free before the Civil War and lived their lives in the shadows of a complicated world"--

Book Description
"'Free Blacks of Accomack County, Virginia' is a happy by-product of Kirk Mariner's meticulous scholarship. In researching his ground-breaking 'Slave and Free on Virginia's Eastern Shore from the Revolution to the Civil War,' Mariner combed antebellum court order books, wills and inventories, federal censuses, newspapers, manuscripts, and other sources, all the while taking the time to note every free black who appeared in the record. The result is a list of more than 10,000 names. Each entry in the list provides a citation to the source document and a brief summary of why the name appeared in the document." - back cover.
