- Convergencetakes the reader on a journey through perilous times as the young men pursue their dreams. Will fate bring their hopes, dreams, and values together? Enter the maelstrom that was the United States before the Civivl War to find out. In the years before the American Civil War, the issue of whether a person could be a chattel property owned by another human being, was hotly debated in the newly-formed U.S. In the Northern states, many considered slavery an abomination which should be abolished. In the Southern states, slavery was viewed by many as an economic necessity. These opposing views sharpened in the years before the American Civil War. Convergenceis the story of two young men in the mid-1830s experiencing this moral and political nightmare in different ways. Leo Stone, the adventurous son a a wealthy New Englander, dreams of adventures which await him on a two-masted sailing brig bound for the exotic land of China. The other is a curious and rebellious young North Carolinian slave named Charles by his master and Mahny by his mother to honor his African heritage. He dreams of freedom.
