Kennedy, Jr. tells the story of another great American hero, a man who did not flinch in the face of extraordinary dangers-a man whosededication to the cause of freedommade him one the most important participants in the American Civil War. On a moonlit night in the spring of 1862, six slavesstole one of the Confederacys most crucial gunships from its wharf in the South Carolina port of Charleston, and delivered it to the Federal Navy. This audacious and intricately coordinated escape, masterminded by a 24-year-old sailor named Robert Smalls, astonished the world and exploded the Confederate claim that Southern slaves did notcrave freedom or have the ability to take decisive action.Robert Smallss heroic career had only begun.
