Description

Based on true stories from William Still's book, Underground Railroad! Rebecca Mendenhall is counting the days to Christmas, when she'll wed Johnny Whittier in their Quaker Meeting House. But in September, a division is formed between Rebecca and Johnny. The Fugitive Slave Law is enacted, making it illegal to aid runaway slaves in Pennsylvania, punishable by heavy fines and prison sentences. Rebecca's parents are avid abolitionists and Johnny' father is not, believing Quakers must abide by the laws of the land. Division's among the Quakers on how to deal with this new law splits their Meeting House in two: Rebecca in one house and Johnny in another. Will Rebecca and Johnny be united by their wedding date, or will Rebecca see Levi Vickman, a passionate young abolitionist, in a new light?
A house divided against itself cannot stand, Rebecca's parents warn her, implying someone like Levi would be a better match. Abolitionists such as Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth and John Greenleaf Whittier, persuade many Quakers who feel they are breaking this new law realize that they are keeping a commandment from God: to cloth the naked, feed the hungry, and remember those in chains.
Christmas Union is based on true stories of abolitionist in Chester Country, PA, and the anguish the Fugitive Slave Law brought to the local Quakers.
