But in 1835, the young country took up arms against them, seeking to forcibly remove all Indigenous people and return their allies to slavery. In the face of this terror, tribes and bands came together across racial lines to preserve their freedom from federal interference. As the fight waged on, two men--Abraham, a free Black American, and the esteemed Creek warrior Osceola--worked together to save their lands and their people, against overwhelming odds, from America's formidable Army of the South. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A powerful and vivid exploration of an overlooked revolt and historical alliances between Afro-descendant families and Indigenous tribes, \u003ci\u003eThe Free and the Dead\u003c\/i\u003e is a timeless work of history that sits alongside \u003ci\u003eEmpire of the Summer Moon\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Demon of Unrest\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJamie Holmes is a writer and the author of the books \u003ci\u003eNonsense\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003e12 Seconds of Silence\u003c\/i\u003e.
