"The dramatic story of fugitive slaves and the antislavery
activists who defied the law to help them reach freedom. More than any other
scholar, Eric Foner has influenced our understanding of America's history. Now,
making brilliant use of extraordinary evidence, the Pulitzer Prize–winning
historian once again reconfigures the national saga of American slavery and
freedom. A deeply entrenched institution, slavery lived on legally and
commercially even in the northern states that had abolished it after the
American Revolution."
