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. 606 $aSlavery$zSouth Carolina 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSlavery 676 $a306.362092 700 $aRoper$b Moses$01038209 712 02$aUniversity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.$bDocumenting the American South (Project) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457831203321 996 $aA narrative of the adventures and escape of Moses Roper from American slavery$92459649 997 $aUNINA
