Episode 211: Escaping Slavery: Resistance on the Run

from Charleston Time Machine · host Nic Butler, Ph.D.

Between the 1670s and 1865, thousands of enslaved South Carolinians rejected their condition and fled to gain freedom elsewhere. Some runaways succeeded, while others faced brutal punishments, and most returned to a life of servitude. Surviving details of their adventures are sparse, but a voluminous body of newspaper advertisements provides intriguing snapshots of thousands of stories of courageous resistance.
