Description

Ivan R. Dee, Chicago, 2003. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Very Good. On the night of November 7, 1841, the Creole, a brig transporting at least 135 slaves from Richmond, Virginia, to the auction block at New Orleans, was about 130 miles northeast of the Bahamas. The male slaves were being held in the forward hold; the aft hold housed the 40 or so female slaves. In the early darkness, an apparent disturbance among the males sent the ship's first mate and a guard forward to investigate. A shot was fired by one of the slaves, grazing the first mate's head. Soon a band of 19 slaves, led by one of them known as Madison Washington, had rushed on deck and seized the crew and its captain. Over the next several days they forced the Creole to sail into Nassau harbor. There, over strenuous American protests, the British authorities offered freedom to the slaves on board, touching off a diplomatic squabble and legal ramifications that continued for years afterward. 177 pages.
