Description

1838 1ed Slave Narrative of James Williams SLAVERY Torture Escape Whittier

James Williams was a notable 19th-century American black slave who is best remembered for his narrative about slave life on a cotton plantation. Once Williams could no longer tolerate being flogged and whipped, he was determined to escape. His first attempt, unlike many other slaves, was successful! In 1838, John Greenleaf Whittier wrote an account of the life and slave experiences of Williams based on the conversations the two had. ‘Narrative’ tells of Williams’ torture, escape plan, and venture on the Underground Railroad.
