Gaddy tells the story of America's tumultuous years leading up to the Civil War and of the war itself from the viewpoints of four children of famous abolitionists, including those of Frederick Douglass and William Lloyd Garrison. Gaddy crafts a surprisingly contemporary coming-of-age narrative, supported by meticulous research and featuring dozens of primary documents. Each of these four young people--two white, two Black--was strongly committed to the anti-slavery cause but felt just as keenly a need to make their own names, away from the often over-protective or disapproving shadows of the famous adults in their lives. This is a true story of how a torch of resistance is passed and how a new generation makes its mark.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 0593855523\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9780593855522\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Gaddy, Kristina R.\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Dutton Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Dutton Books for Young Readers","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover (Jun 2025)","offer_id":46080405831877,"sku":"9780593855522","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9780593855522.jpg?v=1776036892"},{"product_id":"white-lies-how-the-south-lost-the-civil-war-then-rewrote-the-history","title":"White Lies: How the South Lost the Civil War, Then Rewrote the History","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis powerful and unflinching examination of racism in America by award-winning historian Ann Bausum deconstructs the warped history of the Civil War, perfect for fans of STAMPED FROM THE BEGINNING and JUST MERCY.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWarning: This is not your average U.S. history book. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfter the Civil War, the Confederates may have laid down their arms, but they were far from accepting defeat.
