America’s founding is often remembered as a triumph of liberty. Through his compelling book, Rohn tells the fuller truth. Set during the Second Continental Congress, it reveals how the fight for independence also preserved slavery. Through the eyes of enslaved Black valets—men who moved invisibly through the corridors of power—the Revolution’s contradictions come into sharp focus. They heard the language of freedom. They experienced its limitations. At a moment when truth is contested and democracy is under assault, this book reminds us why reckoning with history matters. We cannot build a more just future without first telling the truth about how we began.
