The trial of an escaped Virginia slave, Anthony Burns, is a pivotal moment in the history of slavery and its eventual abolishment in the United States. Until that case in 1854, slavery in the northern U. S. received little attention and concern. In The Trials of Anthony Burns, Albert J. von Frank freezes this moment so readers can see just how explosive a moral and political event this was in America. | Trials of Anthony Burns by Albert J.
