Description:A progressive white owner and his many slaves migrated from the Deep South to a new, “slave-friendly” country, the Republic of Texas, looking for a fresh start, but soon after they made their difficult journey, Texas became the 28th state in the United States and then angrily seceded just sixteen years later. The new community was overtaken by chaotic events in the controversy and privations of early nation building, statehood, angry secession, and an inevitable Civil War. Despite declining finances, dependence on weather, and worry about bandits and Comanche raids, the farm at Taylor Creek struggled to survive. Sometimes prosperous, sometimes not, the white man tried to see everyone fed, while all learned to get along, white and black. The owner held his colony together despite drought, flood, difficult neighbors, and a desperate war that overtook them all. This is an account not only of the man’s business dealings, but the African-American slaves’ participation in the shifting circumstances of early Texas history.In the end, this is a fascinating story of early Texas, and the many changes soon to come.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
