After Union forces captured New Orleans in 1862, Rose Hereraâ€™s owners fled to Havana, taking her three children with them. Adam Rothman tells the story of Hereraâ€™s quest to rescue her children from bondage after the war. As the kidnapping case made its way through the courts, it revealed the prospects and limits of justice during Reconstruction.
