Ford DetailsDetails In 1619, the first African slaves arrived in America. More than two hundred years later, African-American slaves continued to suffer under the cruelest and harshest conditions in the South. Slaves tried to escape, but it was difficult. However, during the mid-1800s, the Underground Railroad—a secret network of people and escape routes—finally gave many slaves hope. It helped thousands reach freedom. Author Carin T. Ford discusses the tragic story of slavery in American history, the heroes of the Underground Railroad, and the end of slavery in the United States.Publication Date: 01/01/2013Copyright: 2013Pages: 48Trim Size: 7 1/2 x 9Illustrations: Illus. with color and black-and-white photographs and illustrationsGrade Level: 4–10Age Level: 9–15LC Number: 2012036349Lexile: 850ATOS Reading Level: 6.1Dewey: 973.7FormatsFormatISBNList PriceDiscount PriceLibrary Bound Book978-0-7660-4127-1$27.27$20.45eBook978-0-7660-5727-2$27.27$20.45 Loading… Other books in The Civil War Through Primary Sources 1 Loading… Other books from the authors 12 Loading… eBook: 978-0-7660-5727-2 List Price: $27.27 Discount Price: $20.45 + Add to wish list Library Bound Book: 978-0-7660-4127-1 List Price: $27.27 Discount Price: $20.45 + Add to wish list Please log in Log in or register to create a wish list.
