review 1: I read Cy in chains the author is David L. Dudley. The book was about a 14 year old boy named CY. He lives in Georgia, slavery was over but in his home town black mean would be tortured, killed, and beaten. He was accused of murdering his brother and is put in a chain gang. The genre of the book is historical fiction.I rate this book five stars because it had a great plot and was very exciting and amazing. If you haven't read this book you should.
review 2: This is the story of an African-American boy in the post Civil War south who is accused of a crime and sentenced to convict labor on a chain gaing. Many African-American boys have been victimized by this system which "convicted" youths without the benefit of a trial (some as young as ten years old) to stiff... more sentences of 15-20 years for petty crimes. Many young boys died trying to do the hard labor assigned, or from lack of medical care when sick or injured, or from trying to escape. Sad story portrayed in a realistic manner. Real eye-opener, worth the read. less
