The First Emancipator : The Forgotten Story Of Robert Carter, The Founding Father Who Freed His Slaves

Attribution
Andrew Levy
Publication Details
Book, 1st ed, Random House, 2005
Description
Robert Carter III, the grandson of Tidewater legend Robert ?King? In a document he called his Deed of Gift, Carter declared his intent to set free nearly five hundred slaves in the largest single act of liberation in the history of American slavery before the Emancipation Proclamation. In an era of empty Anglican piety, Carter experienced a feverish religious visionthat impelled him to help build a church where blacks and whites were equals. As the war ended and his fortunes declined, Carter dedicated himself even more fiercely to liberty, clashing repeatedly with his neighbors, his friends, government officials, and, most poignantly, his own family.

Landon Carter’s Uneasy Kingdom : Revolution And Rebellion On A Virginia Plantation

Attribution
Rhys Isaac
Publication Details
Book, Oxford University Press, 2004
Links
- TABLE OF CONTENTS
Description
Landon Carter, a Virginia planter patriarch, left behind one of the most revealing of all American diaries. Not only had Landon’s king betrayed his subjects, but Landon’s own household betrayed him: his son showed insolent defiance, his daughter Judith eloped with a forbidden suitor, all of his slaves conspired constantly, and eight of them made an armed exodus to freedom. Moreover, in this presentation of Landon Carter’s passionate narratives, the diarist becomes an arresting new character in the world’s literature, a figure of Shakespearean proportions, the Lear of his own tragic kingdom. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)

Attribution
Woody Holton
Publication Details
Book, Published for the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture, Williamsburg, Virginia, by the University of North Carolina Press, 1999

In this provocative reinterpretation of one of the best-known events in American history, Woody Holton shows that when Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and other elite Virginians joined their peers from other colonies in declaring independence from Britain, they acted partly in response to grassroots rebellions against their own rule.
