The Experience Of A Slave In South Carolina (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781163686928)

""The Experience Of A Slave In South Carolina"" is a memoir written by John Andrew Jackson, a former slave who was born in South Carolina in the early 19th century. The book details Jackson's life as a slave, including his experiences with various owners, his work in the fields and in the house, and his eventual escape to freedom in the North. Throughout the book, Jackson provides vivid descriptions of the brutality and inhumanity of slavery, including the physical and emotional abuse he endured, the separation of families, and the constant fear of punishment. He also describes the ways in which slaves resisted their enslavement, through acts of rebellion, sabotage, and escape. In addition to his personal story, Jackson also provides historical context for the institution of slavery in South Carolina, including its economic and social importance, the laws and regulations that governed it, and the ways in which it was justified and defended by slave owners and politicians. Overall, ""The Experience Of A Slave In South Carolina"" is a powerful and moving account of one man's journey from slavery to freedom, as well as a valuable historical document that sheds light on the realities of slavery in the American South.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
