En savoir plus sur le livre

The book explores the pivotal role of enslaved individuals during the War of 1812, particularly around Chesapeake Bay, where they sought refuge aboard British warships. Viewing these ships as symbols of freedom, hundreds of slaves risked their lives to escape and ultimately influenced the conflict by assisting the British as guides and sailors. Their actions not only intensified the fears of slaveholders but also shifted loyalties among Virginians, who began to align more closely with southern interests due to the perceived neglect by the national government.
