The Life of Josiah Henson: Formerly a Slave, Now an Inhabitant of Canada, Paperback/Josiah Henson

Descriere & specificații

The character Uncle Tom, fr om Harriet Beecher Stowe's bestselling novel, ""Uncle Tom's Cabin,"" is based on the life of Josiah Henson (1789-1882). Born in Maryland, Henson escaped and fled to Dresden, Ontario, Canada in 1830. In 1841, a group of abolitionists, including Henson, created a community/school for runaway slaves called the British-American Institute for Fugitive Slaves.

After emancipation, many of the former slaves returned to the United States, though Henson remained in Canada until his death in 1882.
