The Untold Story of Shields Green – The Life and Death of a Harper`s Ferry Raider

Autor Louis A. Decaro Jr.
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 ian 2022
Explores the life of Shields Green, one of the Black men who followed John Brown to Harper¿s Ferry in 1859
When John Brown decided to raid the federal armory in Harper¿s Ferry as the starting point of his intended liberation effort in the South, some closest to him thought it was unnecessary and dangerous. Frederick Douglass, a pioneering abolitionist, refused Brown¿s invitation to join him in Virginia, believing that the raid on the armory was a suicide mission. Yet in front of Douglass, ¿Emperor¿ Shields Green, a fugitive from South Carolina, accepted John Brown¿s invitation. When the raid failed, Emperor was captured with the rest of Brown¿s surviving men and hanged on December 16, 1859.
¿Emperor¿ Shields Green was a critical member of John Brown¿s Harper¿s Ferry raiders but has long been overlooked. Louis DeCaro, Jr., a veteran scholar of John Brown, presents the first effort to tell Emperor¿s story based upon extensive research, restoring him to his rightful place in this fateful raid at the origin of the American Civil War. Starting from his birth in Charleston, South Carolina, Green¿s life as an abolitionist freedom-fighter, whose passion for the liberation of his people outweighed self-preservation, is extensively detailed in this compact history. In The Untold Story of Shields Green, Emperor pushes back against racism and injustice and stands in his rightful place as an antislavery figure alongside Frederick Douglass and John Brown.
