The Search for Charles Nalle -- Appendix -- Notes -- Index -- Illustrations. 330 8 $aFreeing Charles recounts the life and epic rescue of captured fugitive slave Charles Nalle of Culpeper, Virginia, who was forcibly liberated by Harriet Tubman and others in Troy, New York, on April 27, 1860. Scott Christianson follows Nalle from his enslavement by the Hansborough family in Virginia through his escape by the Underground Railroad and his experiences in the North on the eve of the Civil War. This engaging narrative represents the first in-depth historical study of this crucial incident, one of the fiercest anti-slavery riots after Harpers Ferry. Christianson also presents a richly detailed look at slavery culture in antebellum Virginia and probes the deepest political and psychological aspects of this epic tale. His account underscores fundamental questions about racial inequality, the rule of law, civil disobedience, and violent resistance to slavery in the antebellum North and South. 410 0$aNew Black studies. 606 $aFugitive slaves$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aEnslaved persons$zVirginia$vBiography 606 $aSlavery$zVirginia$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aSlavery$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aAntislavery movements$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aUnderground Railroad 607 $aTroy (N.Y.)$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aFugitive slaves 615 0$aEnslaved persons 615 0$aSlavery$xHistory 615 0$aSlavery$xHistory 615 0$aAntislavery movements$xHistory 615 0$aUnderground Railroad. 676 $a973.7/115092 676 $aB 700 $aChristianson$b Scott$01811467 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910959822703321 996 $aFreeing Charles$94363341 997 $aUNINA
