Haven't read the book; haven't decided if I'll send it to my grandchildren who live in England and therefore don't relate to North American slavery.
If the American war of independence had failed it is likely that slavery in North America would have ended many decades before it did. By the early 19th century anti-slavery sentiment in England was very strong and certainly would have been felt in the colonies.
There appears to be an irony in the book that the slave girls were sold into the servitude of a British Loyalist.

"Chains" Overview
If an entire nation could seek its freedom, why not a girl?
As the Revolutionary War begins, thirteen-year-old Isabel wages her own fight...for freedom. Promised freedom upon the death of their owner, she and her sister, Ruth, in a cruel twist of fate become the property of a malicious New York City couple, the Locktons, who have no sympathy for the American Revolution and even less for Ruth and Isabel. When Isabel meets Curzon, a slave with ties to the Patriots, he encourages her to spy on her owners, who know details of British plans for invasion. She is reluctant at first, but when the unthinkable happens to Ruth, Isabel realizes her loyalty is available to the bidder who can provide her with freedom.
From acclaimed author Laurie Halse Anderson comes this compelling, impeccably researched novel that shows the lengths we can go to cast off our chains, both physical and spiritual.
