Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chattel slavery in colonial America was an attack upon dynastic rule. The shot heard around the world was not a musket shot fired in April 1775. Rather, it was the verdict of Englands Supreme Court that slavery is an odious scheme and not authorized under Englands rule of law in June 1772. Englands traditions and rule of law were immutableit was truly a nation of laws and not of men. Depriving native sons of liberty at birth was unconstitutional. Colonial chattel slave practices were criminal enterprises, and Queen Charlotte, the wife of Englands King George the Third, recognized it as a threat to her son the Prince of Waless ascension to the British throne due to her obvious and much talked-about African heritage. Englands Queen Charlotte was black under the black codes one-drop rule, and she knew that if black native sons could lose their birthrights, though the rule of law declares them to be Englishmen, that pretenders to the kings throne might challenge her sons birthright. The queen concerned herself with great interest in the habeas corpus case of a colony of Virginia-born black named James Somersett. The significance of the Somersett habeas corpus case was Englands emancipation of its slaves has escaped telling. Told with all the power and drama of a novel, Kings Native Sons: Lies, Lessons and Legacies is an extraordinary account of a pulse-pounding human drama framed by political intrigue and raw human emotions (Larry Kenneth Alexander, cultural theorist).
