  All along the Mississippi, nineteenth-century African Americans worked and fought for their liberty amid the slave trade and the growth of the cotton South. Exploring the relationship between slavery and freedom, this work looks at the ways African Americans resisted slavery and developed a vibrant culture up and down America's greatest river.
