In The Experience of a Slave in South Carolina, escaped slave John
Andrew Jackson seeks to educate his readers on the horrors of
slavery. He spares no details in relating the murder of his sister,
the separation of his family, and his own frequent whippings at the
hands of a ""Christian"" master and mistress. He offers a scathing
review of white religious hypocrisy, criticizing those who could
not see the contradiction between worshiping a merciful God on
Sundays and holding slaves under inhumane conditions. Jackson
details his escape from slavery into Massachusetts as a ship
stowaway after he is separated by sale from his first wife and
child. He also describes his interactions with Harriet Beecher
Stowe; his failed attempts to purchase the freedom of his family
members; and his eventual escape into Canada following the passage
of the Fugitive Slave Law. His work also includes a variety of
carefully recorded hymns and antislavery songs. Jackson would
eventually flee to England with his second wife before returning to
South Carolina after the War. A DOCSOUTH BOOK. This collaboration
