ISBN: 9780275979355 / Angielski / Twarda / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Proving to the world their abilities to purchase lands, to... From early in the Civil War, the Sea Islands of South Carolina set the stage for an exciting experiment in freedpeople's independence.
