State v. O'Neill Case File (NITA) 6th Edition,
Kindle Edition
The unforgettable saga of one enslaved woman's
fight for justice - and reparationsBorn into
slavery, Henrietta Wood was taken to Cincinnati
and legally freed in 1848. In 1853, a Kentucky
deputy sheriff named Zebulon Ward colluded with
Wood's employer, abducted her, and sold her back
into bondage. She remained enslaved throughout
the Civil War, giving birth to a son in
Mississippi and never forgetting who had put her
in this position.By 1869, Wood had obtained her
freedom for a second time and returned to
Cincinnati, where she sued Ward for damages in
1870. Astonishingly, after eight years of
litigation, Wood won her case In 1878, a Federal
jury awarded her 2,500. More important than the
amount, though the largest ever awarded by an
American court in restitution for slavery, was
the fact that any money was awarded at
all.McDaniel's audiobook is an epic tale of
a Black woman who survived slavery twice and who
achieved more than merely a moral victory
over one of her oppressors. Above all, Sweet
Taste of Liberty is a portrait of an
extraordinary individual as well as a searing
reminder of the lessons of her story, which
establish beyond question the connections between
slavery and the prison system that rose in its
place. Review The reader not only follows the
fascinating narrative of a woman who lost her
freedom, but also learns of the intricacies of
slavery in a border state like Kentucky, the pain
of separation from loved ones, and the ordeals of
being sold down the river, surviving on a large
cotton plantation, and being an enslaved refugee
in Texas during the Civil War... It is an
enlightening account from the point of view of
an enslaved woman about the arduous trip â and
the subsequent years â that many
enslaved people were forced to endure by their
masters to avoid their being liberated by Union
armies... McDaniel has turned these into a
captivating account of this period, revealing how
the legal and economic aspects of the institution
of slavery interacted in very personal and human
ways with those who were kept enslaved. -- Angela
Boswell, Professor of History at Henderson State
University, Southwestern Historical QuarterlyAs a
whole, Sweet Taste of Liberty is the fruit of
excellent
3
scholarship and a timely and significant addition
to the field of U.S. racial history. -- Ken
Chujo, J.F. Oberlin University, Tokyo, The
Journal of Southern HistoryIn this gripping
study, Rice University historian McDaniel
recounts the painful but triumphant story of one
enslaved woman's long fight for justice...
McDaniel tells this story engrossingly and
accessibly. This is a valuable contribution
to Reconstruction history with clear relevance to
current debates about reparations for
slavery.-- Publishers WeeklySweet Taste of
Liberty is a masterpiece. Using an extraordinary
archival discovery, McDaniel expertly weaves a
compelling, fine-grained narrative of the
extraordinary life of Henrietta Wood. . . . But
this is not simply a biography. It also a work of
profound analysis, layered with McDaniel's deep
knowledge of slavery, emancipation, and the law.
The book raises the most profound questions about
slavery, reparations, and the debt that the
United States owes to the people whose unfree
labor constructed a great deal of that nation. --
Gregory P. Downs, author of The Second American
Revolution The Civil War-Era Struggle over Cuba
and the Rebirth of the American RepublicAs
America grapples with reparations for slavery,
Caleb McDaniel unearths the astounding story of a
woman who survived bondage, twice, and fought for
restitution against impossible odds. In lucid and
vivid prose, he brings us a chilling, inspiring,
and timely examination of both the necessity and
complexity of redressing historical crimes. --
Tony Horwitz, author of Confederates in the Attic
and Spying on the SouthHenrietta Wood's quest to
be made whole by seeking reparations from the man
who kidnapped and re-enslaved her is a
heart-tugging page- turner. With fidelity to the
historical record and insight into the emotions
that run through it, Caleb McDaniel's Sweet Taste
of Liberty tells how enslaved women lived along
the jagged lines that divided house and field,
city and countryside, North and South, and
slavery and freedom. Her triumph is a tribute to
one woman's persistence, courage, legal savvy,
and an enduring devotion to family-its lessons
for us are timeless. -- Martha S. Jones, Society
of Black Alumni Presidential Professor, Johns
Hopkins University, author of Birthright
Citizens A History of Race and Rights
in Antebellum AmericaMcDaniel renders an
enthralling biography of a determined, resilient
woman... A

well-researched, well-told story that also
contributes to the debate about reparations.
--Library JournalSweet Taste of Liberty is a
profound book that could not have been released
at a better time... It is an account brimming
with as much bittersweetness as it does hope.
--ZORAA superbly written chronicle . . . . rich
with vivid personalities and unexpected turns.
--Wall Street Journal Through painstaking
archival research, Bell and McDaniel have
reconstructed their lives with such vivid detail,
sensitivity, and riveting storytelling that you
would think each of their figures left us
whole autobiographies. For the simple act of
recovering their stories, both books would be
commendable. But what makes them essential
reading is the larger questions they demand of us
as readers What exactly was the condition under
which un-enslaved black people lived before
emancipation--and what is it that they and their
descendants are owed?--The New Republic W. Caleb
McDaniel tells a breathless tale with an
ominously dark feel through many of its pages,
because the monsters here were real. Yes, it's a
complicated tale that races from north to south,
but the righteous audacity that ultimately
occurred in Ohio in 1870 makes it worthwhile,
fist-pumping, and satisfying. Historians,
of course, will want Sweet Taste of Liberty.
Feminists shouldn't miss it. Folks with an
opinion on reparations should find it. All of you
will want to take it home.--Miami Times A deeply
rich story... This beautifully written book is a
must read.--Civil War Monitor Sweet Taste of
Liberty uses the past to show how the open wounds
of slavery still exist.--The AdvocateResearchers,
leisurely readers and those in the general public
looking to be more informed about the history of
slavery and reparations in this country, would be
hard-pressed not to find this book compelling. It
is a story that deserves to be heard and a
conversation that needs to be had.--Bowling Green
Daily NewsA book that single- handedly proves
that new American heroes can be found in the
obscured corners of this country's history.--Bower
y Boys, American History Book of the Year 2020
