Born in Violence/Bathed in Blood

Born in Violence/Bathed in Blood is a collection of violent and historical events beginning when the Spaniards came to this continent and continuing for centuries. There are three short fictionalized stories interspersed within that typify events of the times. This book looks at the violence perpetrated against races of people who had no legal protection and who were totally helpless in a society that cared little to nothing about their well being as human beings. Born in Violence looks at the period just after the Civil War when the monetary value had been taken away from a viable part of southern life, its former slaves. The newly freed black people now faced a reality that they were now worth absolutely nothing to whites who controlled every aspect of their lives. Most records fall far short of telling the complete story about all the fatalities suffered by so many black men and women during the years between 1865 and about 1885, but it only takes a small amoun! t of imagination to visualize what actually happened to a people who became the very focal point of vengance to a southern culture that had just lost a war.
