[Crawford] makes clear the toll of trying to pursue one&;s principles (in the case of Quakers) or pursue one&;s freedom (in the case of African Americans) within the repressive legal climate of late-eighteenth century North Carolina&;and indeed the United States.&;&;Journal of American History &;Remarkable. . . complements the existing scholarly literature on the antislavery movement because it deals with a period, a place, and with people often ignored.
