- W2022643000 abstract "Epic Journeys of Freedom relates previously untold narratives of African Americans who struggled for their own independence during the American Revolution. In contrast to Benjamin Quarles, who also studied slaves who ran away to the British in his still-relevant book, The Negro in the American Revolution (1961), Cassandra Pybus focuses her attention on individual narratives. She recovers “from scattered fragments in the archives the stories of individuals engaged in the tortuous process of negotiating their freedom during the American Revolution” (p. xxvii). Readers will be impressed by how tortuous the journeys of some of those runaways truly were. While most of the runaways eventually ended up in England or Nova Scotia, the remainder found homes in locales scattered around the globe. Take Harry Washington, for instance. Washington fed from George Washington's Mount Vernon plantation in 1776 to join John Murray, Lord Dunmore, and was evacuated by the British army to New York City. In 1780, as a corporal in a company of Black Pioneers, Washington participated in the siege of Charleston, South Carolina. At the end of the war the British army evacuated him to Nova Scotia on the ship L'Abondance, in spite of American efforts to prevent runaways from escaping with the British. After living for a while in Nova Scotia, where he married and started a family on two town lots and forty acres, Washington, accompanied by his family, migrated to Sierra Leone in 1792 to escape racial discrimination. In 1800 Washington left his farm near Freetown, Sierra Leone, to join other settlers in taking up arms in a struggle for independence from the Sierra Leone Company. When their bid for autonomy failed, Washington was sent into exile." @default.
