Publisher's Synopsis
From Slave to Citizen is a historical book written by Charles Manly Melden and originally published in 1921. The book is a comprehensive account of the African American experience in the United States, from the time of slavery to the Reconstruction era and the eventual granting of citizenship rights. Melden delves into the social, economic, and political conditions that shaped the lives of African Americans during this period, and explores the struggles and triumphs of prominent figures such as Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, and Booker T. Washington. The book also examines the various legal and constitutional developments that affected African Americans, including the Emancipation Proclamation, the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, and the Civil Rights Act of 1866. From Slave to Citizen provides a detailed and insightful analysis of the challenges and obstacles that African Americans faced in their quest for freedom and equality, and serves as an important historical document in the ongoing struggle for civil rights and social justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
