The knotted rope / Jean Rae Baxter. by Baxter, Jean Rae. Ronsdale Press, 2021. Call #: FICTION BAX Subjects Slavery -- Canada -- Juvenile literature.   Canada -- History -- 1763-1867 -- Juvenile fiction. Series Forging a nation. ISBN:  9781553806202 (pbk.) Description:  191 p. ; 20cm. Summary:  The year is 1793, the year in which a new law is passed to gradually end slavery in Upper Canada. The new law is not perfect; it will leave hundreds still in slavery for the rest of their lives. But it is enough to make many slave owners afraid that their investment in slaves will soon be worth nothing. No wanting to lose money, some of them sell their slaves to dealers, who resell them in slave markets in the United States. Broken Trail, a white boy adopted by the Oneida First Nation, was brought up to be a warrior. He has long witnessed his adoptive people being treated with injustice and is angered by the unimaginable suffering of black slaves who spend their lives in bondage. When 12-year-old Roas and her father are sold to a slave dealer, Broken Trail has a plan to rescue them and set them free for life. --back cover. Genre:  Historical fiction, Juvenile.
