First published in England, the text documents the life of Moses Roper, beginning with his birth in North Carolina and chronicling his travels through South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. Roper was able to obtain employment on a schooner named The Fox, and in 1834 he made his way to freedom aboard the vessel. Once in Boston, he was quickly recruited as a signatory to the constitution of the American Anti-Slavery Society (AASS), but he sailed to England the next year.SlaverySouth CarolinaSlavery306.362092Roper Moses1561825University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.Documenting the American South (Project)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781577503321A narrative of the adventures and escape of Moses Roper from American slavery3828852UNINA
