Liberty Without Love: An Investigation of Antebellum Slave Narratives and American Freedom
Liberty Without Love: An Investigation of Antebellum Slave Narratives and American Freedom investigates the social, political, and economic contexts in which some slaves chose to stay with their former enslavers after emancipation. For many, the decision relied on two factors, the historical events taking place, and a slave's perception and feelings about these events. Liberty Without Love investigates historical events such as the Emancipation Proclamation, 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments along with the creation of sharecropping, black codes and refugee camps. In conjunction is an investigation of personal narratives surrounding these events from the WPA 'Born into Slavery' Collection.
