Plantation life had left African Americans with little knowledge of what to expect when freedom actually came. The brutal plantation system had prevented slaves from learning to read and write, owning property, or living independent lives. Plantation life, which lasted for more than two centuries, is explored in this new book by award-winning author Richard Worth.
