Summary
"This book tells the story of a riot that erupted on September 11, 1851 at Christiana, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and of the people whose lives were changed forever by that violent event. Shortly after dawn on that day, Lancaster's African-American community rose up in arms against attempted enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850; and, in the course of saving four men from the federal posse charged to reenslave them, rioters killed the Maryland farmer who was trying to reclaim his human chattel."

Summary
The book details the events leading up to and following the " Christiana Riot " in 1851. African Americans in Christiana, Pennsylvania, repulsed the efforts of a Maryland slave owner to capture escaped slaves. The encounter resulted in the death of the slave owner and the trial for treason of several men. The charges were based on the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 which required citizens to assist in the return of escaped slaves to their owners. No one was convicted in the trial. The book states that "the Christiana resistance ranks with the Nat Turner uprising as one of the major episodes in black American history and the history of black-white relations. Along with John Brown's raid it was a harbinger of the Civil War. "

Summary
"But We Have No Country" examines how William Parker and the Christiana Resisters tested the basic tenets of American democracy and law, especially the 1850 Fugitive Slave Law. In doing so, they exposed the contradiction between the theory of the American creed and the reality of the enslavement and oppression of black Americans. Ultimately the Christiana Resistance was a contest of wills between Parker and his self-defense organization, with natural law on their side, and Edward Grosuch and other white slave owners, armed, literally with civil law. Their struggle encapsulized the more immense battle of how to incorporate the institution of slavery in a so-called free society which was waging nationwide. It was a clash that Parker and the valiant Resisters won. [from Amazon.com]
