Road to Ratification: How 27 States Faced the Most Challenging Issue in American History

Books

Product Description

After consulting with the California Historic State Capitol on its discovery of the California adoption of the 13th Amendment, historian John William Templeton sought to find the similar document for the other 27 states that ended slavery. In most states, he was the first person to ask for it. The book traces the first Black person in that jurisdiction up to that ratification, giving the same perspective that he created for the Golden State in his seminal Our Roots Run Deep: the Black Experience in California.
