Maryland Kept Discovering Slave Babies With Identical Eyes — The Truth Was a National Secret.

Description:
In 1847, Dr. Samuel Hartwell examined a healthy infant on a Maryland plantation. But when the child opened its eyes, he felt a chill of recognition. They were identical to another baby’s eyes he’d seen months before—down to the last golden fleck. This was no coincidence. It was a mark.

What began as a medical mystery became a dangerous investigation into one of the darkest, most secretive programs of the Antebellum South: a systematic human breeding experiment designed to create “trackable” slaves. Who was behind it? And why did doctors who asked questions have a tendency to disappear?

This is the forgotten true story of the “Crossroad Babies,” the underground network that fought to save them, and the stolen documents that exposed a conspiracy meant to justify slavery itself.
