"Lynne Breen delivers an important work that details the often overlooked role that German-Americans played in ending slavery in the United States. In Freedom at Niagara, she concisely shows how the efforts of German-Americans, both politically and on the battlefield, helped end this egregious institution. The book is an engaging account of this staunchly antislavery immigrant group, set in the framework of American history. It is extensively sourced, richly illustrated, and thoroughly enlightening."
