Gullah Statesman: Robert Smalls from Slavery to Congress, 1839-1915
A political biography of the first African American hero of the Civil War
A native of Beaufort, South Carolina, Robert Smalls was born into slavery but--through acts of remarkable courage and determination--became the first African American hero of the Civil War and one of the most influential African American politicians in South Carolina history. In this largely political biography of Smalls's inspirational story, Edward A. Miller, Jr., traces the triumphs and setbacks of the celebrated U.S. congressman and advocate of compulsory, desegregated public education to illustrate how the life and contributions of this singular individual were indicative of the rise and fall of political influence for all African Americans during this rough transitional period in American history.
