In the era of Slavery in the New World, many slaves did not run NORTH to FREEDOM. Many like the CARTER family ran to Florida to join the Seminole Indians who protected them from being killed or captured and returned to abusive plantations.. The fugitives were called slaves when they lived with the Seminoles. But there was little about them that resembled slavery on a New World plantation. Seminole slaves lived in separate houses or Chickee Huts near their Seminole friends. The only rule the Seminoles gave their slaves was to provide ten percent of their livestock and produce as rent. The Seminoles and their slaves enjoyed celebrations and frolics together, where they played ball games, ran races, sang, danced, and held Court to discuss broken rules such as Ebony Noel, her brother PP, and the RASCALLY TWINS, Willie May and Jethro May, often broke. The Seminoles are considered the only Native American tribe which did not surrender to the white men. The fugitive slaves often adopted the Seminole Indians customs and culture. And many fugitives married Seminoles. Throughout the centuries many children, like EBONY NOEL, truly became Black Seminoles, also called Seminole Negros. The author has fictionalized some things in this book, because it is about combining two totally different cultures of Seminoles and African descendants. In the back of the book is nonfiction information for TEACHERS to use with their classes..
