From Africa to the American West

By Teresa G.S. Taylor

From Africa to America chronicles the history of Africans who were brought to America via slave ships landing in Charleston, South Carolina, then being bought and sold to plantation owners who used them for free labor in the fields and in within the home. It also discusses how slaves used the Underground Railroad to run north as far up as Canada which some called "The Promised Land," just to be free. When the Emancipation Proclamation was issued, many now African Americans looked for work and places to set down their roots. The task was tedious and not always what they expected. They waded through the many trials of land ownership, work, and establishing cities and towns, but eventually finding home in the American West.
