The Experience Of A Slave In South Carolina (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781163584088)

""The Experience of a Slave in South Carolina"" is a memoir written by John Andrew Jackson, an enslaved man who lived in the southern state of South Carolina during the mid-19th century. The book details Jackson's life as a slave, from his childhood to his eventual escape to freedom in the North. Jackson's account provides a firsthand perspective on the brutal realities of slavery, including the physical and emotional abuse he endured at the hands of his owners. He also describes the various forms of resistance and rebellion employed by himself and other enslaved individuals, such as running away and practicing their own religious and cultural traditions in secret. Throughout the book, Jackson emphasizes the importance of education and literacy in the fight for freedom, as well as the role of the abolitionist movement in bringing about an end to slavery. His story sheds light on the complex and often overlooked experiences of enslaved people in the American South, and serves as a powerful testament to the resilience and determination of those who fought against oppression.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
