Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. When war is experienced only as a chapter in history, a segment on the evening news, or a political argument waged by well-paid pundits from the comfort of a padded recliner, it is not real.Only when you lose someone you love does the insanity of it cut through the fa ade of the greater good, or heroic sacrifice.In this book, we attempt to introduce characters who will live in the reader's mind so that both their joy and despair will feel real.The history of indentured servitude on these shores actually precedes the introduction of slavery and began to grow during the decade following the settlement of Jamestown by the Virginia Company in 1607.The American South would develop the largest need for indentured labor with the introduction of tobacco as the main cash crop. The conditions of indenture evolved from total control of the indentured person by the Leasing Company to sale of contracts by Shipping Agents to land owners. Most indentured workers did not survive their indenture period. Those who did, received only their freedom after paying an additional fee. Some landowners were farsighted enough to offer a parcel of land at the end of the indenture period. This enlightened self-interest was an investment in the growth of the land owner's work force, guaranteed economic growth of the community, and continued income from shared crops.The following pages chronicle the story of one young man who came to North Carolina in 1830 with nothing but a contract of indenture and belief in his ability to create a better life for himself. What happens to him and the family he builds in that place is based loosely on a Pressley family legend. The story is told of three brothers who chose different paths during the American Civil War and what became of the one who defied his family and friends to join the Union Army.…

Abraham Lincoln is dead. The Civil War has officially ended. President Johnson is in trouble with Congress. Efforts to reunite the union and repair the damages of war have begun, but plans for continuation are tenuous at best.Will Presley, a decorated Union Army veteran who left his North Carolina family and friends to join the opposing side, seeks to absolve his quilt by becoming part of the Reconstruction Team. His idealistic vision of rebuilding what was destroyed as well as creating opportunities for the former enslaved population is immediately met with opposition.Starting in Memphis, Tennessee, Will and his new bride, Lenora, are excited to be on the cutting edge of a massive project. They pour all their energy into making the dream of homes and schools for newly freed slaves and their children a reality.

Though despondent and fearful at times, they refuse to give up on the goal. They remain committed to the basic tenants of their Christian faith and the beautiful unifying words of our founding documents; they seek other strategies to overcome resistance.
