Abstract:
The within enemy: slaves and the production of South Carolina's early state -- The strength of this country: securing and rebuilding the state in the Revolutionary era -- Their intentions were to ambuscade and surround me: the necessity of slave mobility -- This negro thoroughfare: the meaning of black movement -- With the labor of these slaves: producing the modern state
Abstract:
"Beginning in the early eighteenth century and moving through the post-War of 1812 internal improvements boom, Quintana highlights the surprising ways enslaved men and women sat at the center of South Carolina's earliest political development, materially producing the state's infrastructure and early governing practices, while also challenging and reshaping both through their day-to-day movements, from the mundane to the rebellious. Focusing on slaves' lives and labors, Quintana illuminates how black South Carolinians not only created the early state, but also established their own extralegal economic sites, social and cultural havens, and independent communities along South Carolina's roads, rivers, and canals"--
