True Story Of The Christiana Riot (1898)

""A True Story of the Christiana Riot"" is a historical book written by David R. Forbes and originally published in 1898. The book narrates the events that took place during the Christiana Riot, which occurred in Pennsylvania in 1851. The riot was a violent clash between African American and white farmers, sparked by the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, which made it a federal crime to assist runaway slaves. The book provides a detailed account of the events leading up to the riot, the riot itself, and its aftermath. It also explores the political and social climate of the time, including the tensions between abolitionists and slaveholders, and the role of the Underground Railroad in helping slaves escape to freedom. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on a significant event in the fight for civil rights and the struggle against slavery in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
