Jeff Strickland tells the powerful story of Nicholas Kelly, the
enslaved craftsman who led the Charleston Workhouse Slave
Rebellion, the largest slave revolt in the history of the
antebellum American South. With two accomplices, some
sledgehammers, and pickaxes, Nicholas risked his life and helped
thirty-six fellow enslaved people escape the workhouse where they
had been sent by their enslavers to be tortured. While Nat Turner,
Gabriel Prosser, and Denmark Vesey remain the most recognizable
rebels, the pivotal role of Nicholas Kelly is often forgotten. All
for Liberty centers his rebellion as a decisive moment leading up
to the secession of South Carolina from the United States in 1861.
This compelling micro-history navigates between Nicholas's story
and the Age of Atlantic Revolutions, while also considering the
parallels between race and incarceration in the nineteenth century
and in modern America. Never before has the story of Nicholas Kelly
been so eloquently told.
