The Story Of Slavery In The Colonial New World Is, In Part, One Of Rebellion. In Jamaica, Hispaniola, Dutch Surinam And Elsewhere, Massive Uprisings Threatened European Rule. But Not In British North America. Between The Founding Of Jamestown In 1607 And The Start Of The American Revolution In 1775, The Colonies Experienced Only One Notable Revolt, On South Carolina'S Stono River In 1739, And It Lasted A Single Day. Yet, Writes Peter Charles Hoffer, As Brief As This Event Was, Historians Have Misunderstood Itand Have Thus Overlooked Its Deeper Significance.In Cry Liberty, Hoffer Provides A Deeply Researched And Finely Nuanced Narrative Of The Stono River Conflict, Offering Uncomfortable Insights Into American Slavery. In Particular, He Draws On New Sources To Reexamine This One Dramatic Day. According To Conventional Wisdom, Recently Imported African Slaveswarriors In Spirit And Traininglearned Of An Impending War Between England And Spain. Seeking Freedom From Spanish Authorities, The Argument Runs, They Launched A Wellplanned Uprising In Order To Escape To Florida. But Hoffer Has Mined Legislative And Legal Records, Land Surveys, And Firsthand Accounts To Identify Precisely Where The Fighting Began, Trace The Paths Taken By Rebels And Militia, And Offer A New Explanation Of Its Causes. Far From A Noble, Wellcrafted Revolt, He Reveals, The Slaves Were Simply Breaking Into A Store To Take What They Thought Was Their Due, And Chance Events Put Them On A Path No Participant Had Originally Intended. The Truth Is A Far Less Heroic, But Far More Of A Human Tragedy.Richly Researched, Crisply Told, And Unflinchingly Honest, This Book Uncovers The Grim Truth About The Violent Wages Of Slavery And Sheds Light On Why North America Had So Few Slave Rebellions.
