The Christiana Riot and the Treason Trials of 1851 is a historical account of an incident that took place in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania in 1851. The Christiana Riot was a violent confrontation between a group of fugitive slaves who had fled to Pennsylvania and their slave-catchers. The incident sparked a national debate over the fugitive slave laws and the rights of states to nullify federal laws they found objectionable. The Treason Trials that followed the Riot were a crucial moment in the history of slavery in the United States, and their legacy is still felt today. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of slavery in the United States and the struggle for civil rights.
