From the beginning of the revolutionary war to the eve of the First Seminole War in 1817, hundreds and eventually several thousand Africans and African Americans in Georgia, and to a lesser extent South Carolina, crossed the borders and boundaries that separated the Lowcountry from the British and Spanish in coastal Florida and from the Seminole and Creek people in the vast interior of the Southeast. Even in times of peace, there remained a steady flow of individuals moving south and southwest, reflecting the aspirations of a captive people. A Southern Underground Railroad constitutes a powerful counter-narrative in American history, a tale of how enslaved men and women found freedom and human dignity not in Jefferson's "Empire of Liberty" but outside the expanding boundaries of the United States. It is a potent reminder of the strength of Black resistance in the post-revolutionary South and the ability of this community to influence the balance of power in a contested region. Paul M. Pressly's research shows that their movement across borders was an integral part of the sustained struggle for dominance in the Southeast not only among the Great Powers but also among the many different racial, ethnic, and religious groups that inhabited the region and contended for control"--Provided by publisher.SeminolesFlorideNoirs americainsRelations avec les Peuples autochtonesEsclaves fugitifsFlorideHistoireCreek IndiansGeorgiaSeminole IndiansFloridaAfrican AmericansRelations with IndiansFugitive slavesFloridaHistoryFugitive slavesGeorgiaHistoryGeorgie (État)Histoire1775-1865FlorideHistoire1784-1821 (Colonie espagnole)GeorgiaHistory1775-1865FloridaHistorySpanish colony, 1784-1821Electronic books.
