Rebellious Passage - The Creole Revolt and America's Coastal Slave Trade (Hardcover)
Expected to ship within 12 - 19 working days

In late October 1841, the Creole left Richmond with 137 slaves
bound for New Orleans. It arrived five weeks later minus the
Captain, one passenger, and most of the captives. Nineteen rebels
had seized the US slave ship en route and steered it to the British
Bahamas where the slaves gained their liberty. Drawing upon a
sweeping array of previously unexamined state, federal, and British
colonial sources, Rebellious Passage examines the neglected
maritime dimensions of the extensive US slave trade and slave
revolt. The focus on south-to-south self-emancipators at sea
differs from the familiar narrative of south-to-north fugitive
slaves over land. Moreover, a broader hemispheric framework of
clashing slavery and antislavery empires replaces an emphasis on US
antebellum sectional rivalry. Written with verve and commitment,
Rebellious Passage chronicles the first comprehensive history of
the ship revolt, its consequences, and its relevance to global
modern slavery.
