À propos de cet audio

 Dive into the riveting autobiography of Josiah Henson, a man who was once a slave but broke his chains to become a free citizen of Canada. His life story, as penned by Samuel Atkins Eliot, was the powerful inspiration behind Harriet Beecher Stowes groundbreaking novel, Uncle Toms Cabin. Hensons journey from the hardships of slavery in Maryland to his daring escape to Canada paints a vivid picture of the era. His experiences, from the heartbreak of seeing fellow slaves sold off to the South to the deceit of his owner reneging on his freedom, give a personal perspective on the harsh realities of slavery. Unlike the character he inspired, Uncle Tom, Henson not only secured his own freedom but also risked his life to liberate others as a conductor on the Underground Railroad. - Summary by progressingamerica and TriciaGCopyright Biographies and Memoirs Art Monde Politique Sciences politiques
