About the Author
Arthur T. Downey has had an eclectic career and each element has contributed to his presentation of the Creole story. Having been a diplomat and served on the National Security Council staff under Dr. Kissinger, he brings an understanding of the complexity of international negotiations, such as those between Secretary of State Webster and Lord Ashburton. As an adjunct professor at Georgetown Law School for a dozen years, he cuts through the issues of the legal structures in which slavery lived in the 1840s, in both the United States and the British Bahamas. Finally, his last book was about the Civil War, which brought an understanding of the enormous domestic political pressures that slavery and abolition forces created; those pressures erupted twenty years after the Creole in the Civil War.
