If you were black in America at the start of the Revolutionary War,
which side would you want to win? When the last British governor of
Virginia declared that any rebel-owned slave who escaped and served
the king would be emancipated, tens of thousands of slaves fled
from farms, plantations, and cities to try to reach the British
camp. A military strategy originally designed to break the
plantations of the American South had unleashed one of the great
exoduses in U.S. history. With powerfully vivid storytelling,
Schama details the odyssey of the escaped blacks through the fires
of war and the terror of potential recapture, shedding light on an
extraordinary, little-known chapter in the dark saga of American
slavery. Adapted for the stage by the award-winning playwright and
novelist Caryl Phillips.
