+ Want to read

Life in early America was not always easy, and this was especially true for the people brought to the country as slaves. Readers learn how the practice of slavery started in the American colonies and what daily life was like for a slave. They explore the hard work of the abolitionists to end slavery and discover how it ultimately took the Civil War to end the practice for good.
