The Politics of Black Citizenship: Free African Americans in the Mid-Atlantic Borderland, 1817-1863

The Politics of Black Citizenship: Free African Americans in the Mid-Atlantic Borderland, 1817-1863 Considering Baltimore and Philadelphia as part of a larger, Mid-Atlantic borderland, this book shows that the antebellum effort to secure the rights of American citizenship was central to black politics - it was an effort to exploit the ambiguities of citizenship and negotiate the complex politics in which that concept was determined.
