Two young men of mixed African and European heritage exploited by unscrupulous leaders from both worlds. One boy who makes his own destiny.In 1667 Samuel Hastings and his business partner, Albert Dross, set sail for Africa to earn their fortunes in trans-Atlantic slave trafficking.

They fear the worst--being separated--but nothing can prepare them for the trials they encounter on the ship and where the Middle Passage takes them.Kofi and Kwesi are mixed-race middlemen who see no harm, and plenty of profit, in playing politics with a pair of kings, until that leads to murder and torture. As much pawns in the game as the captive slaves, they are forced into committing crimes against their own people. Each man must choose between wealth and power in the cutthroat world he helped create or a simple life in which he can find peace and self-respect.Akoto is a boy who reacts without thinking about the consequences, always leaping into trouble to try to help the ones he loves. Can he save himself when the time comes to risk everything?Set during the early years of the slave trade in West Africa, Seeds of Slavery uncovers painful truths about the tribal leaders and European traders who created a global exchange of human lives for gold and guns that would dislocate families, weaken identities, and impart a legacy of loss and pain for generations to come.

This book follows an immigrant family through three generations. It describes what it was like as an immigrant to live and work in the United States in the mid- to late-19th Century. True personal stories and anecdotes of immigrants are woven into the tapestry of historical events that shaped post-industrialized America from the building of the Brooklyn Bridge and the politics of New York to the struggling evolution of agriculture in the Midwest. Beginning in the countryside of the Kingdom of Hanover, Germany, in 1846, the Kastendieck family-four brothers and two sisters, along with their mother-immigrated to Brooklyn, New York, when South Brooklyn was a scarcely populated wetland. They built businesses, raised families, and experienced the ups and downs of a young nation, overcoming hardships and personal tragedy. After many years in Brooklyn and the deaths of three of his wives and five infant children, John Herman Kastendieck and his brother Dietrich left Brooklyn for the frontier of southwest Missouri.
