Enriched Edition. With Sketches of Several Distinguished Black PersonsBy William Cooper Nell, Harriet Beecher Stowe
Length12h 16m
About this audiobook
The Colored Patriots of the American Revolution is a landmark work of historical recovery, gathering documentary history, biographical sketch, civic memorial, and abolitionist argument into a powerful account of Black participation in the founding of the United States. Its range extends from battlefield narratives and petitions to commemorations of figures such as Crispus Attucks, Salem Poor, and Phillis Wheatley, situating African American courage within the moral contradictions of revolutionary liberty. William Cooper Nell, a pioneering Black historian and abolitionist, shaped the volume as both archive and intervention, insisting that national memory include those whom prejudice had erased. Harriet Beecher Stowe's association with the work places it firmly within antebellum antislavery print culture, alongside reform movements that used history, testimony, and moral suasion to challenge slavery and racial exclusion. Together, these voices illuminate how patriotism, citizenship, and freedom were contested ideals. Readers interested in American history, African American studies, and abolitionist literature will find this volume indispensable. It offers not only a multiplicity of recovered lives but also a sustained dialogue between memory and justice, inviting renewed reflection on who belongs in the nation's founding story.
