Freedom Ships is an exciting and informative historical novel about African Americans who managed to go back to Africa in 1820 to find the freedom denied them in America decades before the Emancipation. Based on a neglected chapter in America's history, elements of the Freedom Ships narrative are reconstructed from emigrant letters, diaries, official reports in the Library of Congress, and U.S. Navy and Congressional archives. A highly recommended and engaging novel, Robert Carey and John Furbay have successfully collaborated to write an epic story of freed slaves who dare to risk all dangers in a vast and unknown continent so that their children could escape the inhuman bondage and overwhelming racial prejudice of slave era America.
