Description
This title celebrates the life of a little-known African-American hero, Robert Smalls (1839-1915). During and after the American Civil War, Smalls became a ship's pilot, sea captain, and politician. He freed himself and his family from slavery by commandeering a Confederate transport ship to freedom. After they were safe and free, Smalls and his crew were recognized by President Lincoln. As a Captain in the Union army, he would later convince the president to enlist 5000 former slaves, "shattering the color barrier that had kept blacks out of military service." After the war, Smalls joined the state senate and later served five terms in the House of Representatives.
