The history of slavery is central to understanding the history of the United States. Slavery and the Making of America offers a richly illustrated, vividly written history that illuminates the human side of this inhumane institution, presenting it largely through stories of the slaves themselves. Readers will discover a wide ranging and sharply nuanced look at American slavery, from the first Africans brought to British colonies in the early seventeenth century to the end of Reconstruction. The authors document the horrors of slavery, particularly in the deep South, and describe the slaves' valiant struggles to free themselves from bondage. There are dramatic tales of escape by slaves such as William and Ellen Craft and Dred Scott's doomed attempt to win his freedom through the Supreme Court. We see how slavery engendered violence in our nation, from bloody confrontations that broke out in American cities over fugitive slaves, to the cataclysm of the Civil War. The book is also filled with stories of remarkable African Americans like Sergeant William H. Carney, who won the Congressional Medal of Honor for his bravery at the crucial assault on Fort Wagner during the Civil War, and Benjamin "Pap" Singleton, a former slave who led freed African Americans to a new life on the American frontier. Filled with absorbing and inspirational accounts highlighted by more than one hundred pictures and illustrations, Slavery and the Making of America is a gripping account of the struggles of African Americans against the iniquity of slavery.Binding Type: Paperback

Can become brittle with sharp edges with use.
Color: Blue T-Bone, Size: 1 Count
Our little dog loved chewing this, however after chewing the toy became jagged and brittle with sharp edges that cut into her upper lip which took about 2 weeks to heal. Unfortunately the return window had closed.

Busy bone
Color: Blue T-Bone, Size: 1 Count, Color: Blue T-Bone, Size: 1 Count
My dog loves these!! Great busy bone! And they can hold it with her paws really well. It does kill your foot if you step on it barefoot in the middle of the night. This is a picture of the bone after 7months.

My Dog Loves this!
Color: Blue T-Bone, Size: 1 Count, Color: Blue T-Bone, Size: 1 Count
My dog loves her Nubbies! My Dog chews her Nubbie every morning after she has her breakfast. She sometimes wants my husband or I to hold it for her while she chews on it. I think it is really good for her teeth and gums. These last a few months for our dog who chews it every morning. After a few months the edges get a little rough from all the chewing so I throw it out and replace with a new one. These are very reasonably priced, so I always have a fresh one ready to go. She gets very excited when we get a new one out of the package..

Teething Puppy Destroyed Goose
Color: Blue goose - pineapple plush
Product appearance attractive and looks like fun, however, simply did NOT withstand an aggressive chewer like my 10 week old puppy - did not last more than three days and needed to be thrown out for safety reasons. ☹️

Not indestructible but she had fun tearing it apart.
Color: Blue goose - pineapple plush
Hardly indestructible as the description claimed. She enjoyed it, while it lasted, for 15 minutes. I wish I could figure out how to show the photo of her after she tore it up. But I can’t. Sadly.
