Republication on the twenty-fifth anniversary of “Pretends to Be
Free” recognizes the signal importance of its sterling
presentation of northern self-emancipation. Today, even more than a
quarter-century ago, these fugitive slave notices are the best
verbal snapshots of enslaved Americans before and during the
American Revolution. Through these notices, readers can discover
how enslaved blacks chose allegiance during our War for
Independence. Replete with a preface by Edward E. Baptist, the
leading scholar of slavery and capitalism and director of a massive
project aimed at digitalizing every escape notice, and with a new
Introduction and teacher’s guide by Graham Hodges, this new
edition makes this documentary study more relevant than ever.
