Freedom in the North The Lincoln Emancipation Tale
In a plantation kitchen tale set during Lincoln's 1863 emancipation, Aunt Hessa and Uncle Noah decide to flee to the North for freedom. Colonel Partidge and his wife, faced with desertion, weigh mercy and pride as they part with trusted servants. The final farewell, the parting of the gold, and the slaves journeying north mark a quiet, somber turning point in a Southern world.
