Description

“Not until Lincoln, the epic blockbuster movie, was Thaddeus Stevens’ passion exposed regarding civil rights for Black slaves. Until then, few knew Stevens’ importance in the passage of the Emancipation Proclamation and the thirteenth and fourteenth amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

Thaddeus Stevens: The Making of an Inconvenient Hero is an exciting, fictional story based on historical fact about “Thad” as a teenager—after his father deserted the family, leaving the family penniless. Brought to life with vivid descriptions and colorful scenes are Thad’s character, physical challenges, and the strong opinions and actions he took to help runaway slaves.” -Book Synopsis
