Peter’s life as a slave never really changes. He works hard every day, from morning ’til night. But when the American colonies decide to fight in a war to gain their independence as a new nation, Peter bravely decides to question his master. “When will I have my freedom?” The deal Peter makes leads to an exciting journey as a Revolutionary War soldier and changes his life forever.
This patriotic story takes place amid events that lead to the founding of the United States of America. It reveals the daily life of a young enslaved man in colonial New England, a part of our nation not normally associated with slavery.

It is based on the true history of Peter Freeman, with a contemporary photograph of his gravestone included as a valuable primary source of information for learners of all ages.
