John Hope Franklin has devoted his professional life to the study of African Americans. Originally published in 1943 by UNC Press, The Free Negro in North Carolina, 1790-1860 was his first book on the subject. As Franklin shows, freed slaves in the antebellum South did not enjoy the full rights of citizenship. Even in North Carolina, reputedly more liberal than most southern states, discriminatory laws became so harsh that many voluntarily returned to slavery.

I Highly Recommend John Hope Franklin's "The Free Negro in Noth Carolina"

Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2014

Verified Purchase

i am about to write a biography of my paternal ancestors who come from North Carolina. My apical NC ancestor lived from about 1799 to 1857 (the period covered by this book), and he was a free person of color (who owned his own business), but he was born a slave. I can hardly begin to tell you how much I learned about him and his descendants as a result of reading this well researched and documented book. It is written clearly, and I could hardly bear to put it down.

I definitely recommend this book!

It is a great read, well researched and written. However I was looking for genealogical information, of which there is very little and none of value to me. However that does not take away for the value of the book. John L. Whitney
