About the Book

The half-century before the Civil War was a struggle for equality and freedom. Beginning in 1803, many free states enacted laws that discouraged free African Americans from living within their borders and restricted their right to testify in court, move freely from one place to another, and more to work, vote and attend public school. But over time, African activists and their white allies, often afraid of mob violence, boldly built organizations to fight against these apartheid laws. They opposed the state's assertion that the state was trying to maintain domestic peace and the promise of equality found in the Declaration of Independence and Constitution. They are pastors, preachers, lawyers, politicians, captains and many ordinary men and women, and they fight in newspapers, courts, state legislatures and Congress, through petitions, silence, politics and elections. Long stymied by negative white leaders and negative court cases, the movement became increasingly popular in the 1850s, especially among supporters of the new Republican Party. When Congress began rebuilding the nation after the Civil War, Republicans included this vision of racial equality in the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and the Fourteenth Amendment.

These are mutually beneficial signs of civil rights. Kate Masur's beautiful story captures this widespread movement in its entirety. Activists such as John Jones, a free black clothier from North Carolina who opposed the Illinois "black law" that helped promote racial equality, highlighted the important role of African Americans in to protect the American ideal of equality before the law. Without coercion, the promise of equality under the law is insufficient. But the movement before the war laid the foundation for a tradition of racial justice that is still relevant today.
