Calling Out Liberty

The audiobook explores the historic Stono Rebellion of 1739, when enslaved Africans launched an uprising near the Charleston area, aiming for freedom in Spanish Florida before the revolt was suppressed. It examines the response from South Carolina, including the implementation of restrictive laws that shaped future policies on slavery. Expanding beyond history, the book connects this event to early American human rights discourse, offering a reimagined perspective on the roots of American ideals. Published by University Press of Mississippi, it provides a thoughtful analysis of one of America's most significant slave uprisings.
