SUMMARY:The Rising Generation: Gradual Abolition\, Black Legal Culture\, and the Making of National Freedom
DESCRIPTION:The Rising Generation: Gradual Abolition\, Black Legal 
 Culture\, and the Making of National Freedom (University of Pennsylvania 
 Press\, 2024) tells a new story about the long history of emancipation in 
 the United States as it follows the cradle-to-grave experiences of a 
 remarkable generation of Black New Yorkers who were born in quasi-freedom 
 after the American Revolution and reached adulthood on the eve of the Civil 
 War. Professor Sarah Gronningsater examines the role this generation played 
 in advocating for equality before the law\, excellent public education\, 
 and the end of slavery nationwide. In a broad sense\, this generation 
 helped shape important changes in the U.S. Constitution as well as 
 groundbreaking federal civil rights legislation.\n\nSarah Gronningsater\, 
 Ph.D. is a historian of the 18th and 19th-century United States at the 
 University of Pennsylvania. She teaches courses on the history of American 
 law\, the American Revolution\, the history of U.S. baseball\, and American 
 democracy. She has particular research interests in the abolition of 
 slavery in the North and in local histories of New York State.\n\n
