Description
A painstaking and unflinching catalogue of settlers in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and PEI who enslaved humans, some even after the practice became illegal.The reader will find here the names of many of the most prominent families of Atlantic Canada. Illustrated with images of 'runaway slave' advertisements, letters from the powerful to each other about their dealings in the powerless, and extracts from court hearings when the enslaved tried to bring their owners to account.
