In 1848 Ellen Craft, an enslaved woman in Macon, Georgia, feared that her father - who was her White enslaver - would claim any child she bore as his property. And so, she and her husband, also enslaved, embarked on a remarkable ruse: Fleeing the South, she masqueraded as a male White slaveowner accompanied by "his" slave. Correspondent Mark Whitaker talks with Ilyon Woo, author of "Master Slave Husband Wife: An Epic Journey from Slavery to Freedom," and with Peggy Preacely, the couple's great-great-granddaughter.

If some men used that free will and freely decided to enslave others, don't blame that on God."...I appreciate you trying to make a point that man has the ability to choose their own actions, though that is not the problem. Does your god have the ability and will to forbid coveting(lust), stealing or bearing false witness? Does your god forbid slavery, or does your god provide a guideline fow HOW they want you to practice slavery in line with the will of god?

I heard about this story decades ago. It is so amazing how human beings that were treated like animals outsmarted their enslavers brilliantly. Imagine the stories that were lost or not spoken of. This is why it is important to remember and learn historical FACTS. This was a fight for freedom, autonomy, and HUMAN rights.

@ryanamari2233 Год назад

This is an example of what (as much as many would disagree) Kanye meant by “ slavery was a choice “ . You could either stay and endure and possibly die in bondage or as a breeder … or escape ..

@syren8373 Год назад

@@ryanamari2233 Many of the enslaved stayed because of family. Many enslavers lied to their slaves about freeing them if they bred a certain amount of children. Many enslavers lied to them about freeing them upon their deaths. Many enslaver's children simply chose to not abide by their parent's wishes. Many were too elderly or too young to escape. And many just committed suicide to escape slavery or killed their children so they would never live to experience slavery. And others fit enough tried to escape but were not successful. Slavery was never a choice. It was a circumstance that people were conditioned to accept from birth and violence was used to maintain it. People had reasons for enduring the brutality that made sense to them at that moment. If they had a real choice, they would never have chosen slavery.

It's such an incredible story of an escape couple from a horrific American slavery past. Seeing their descendants to become successful people is so gratifying.

@TinyLuxuryCo Месяц назад

ALL of the successful Black Lives in America 🇺🇸 are descendants of either brutal chattel slavey in the Americas & European nations 🌎 or of colonialism if they immigrated from a nation colonized by enslavers on the Continent. The only African nation who was not colonized were the Ethiopians. The difference with this couple is they were blessed and cunning enough to escape the shackles of slavery. My family on both sides has been in America 🇺🇸 since the 1700's according to research from national archives. We the descendants of slaves have generations of college graduates, military veterans, world travelers, doctors, teachers, lawyers, engineers, social workers, business men, nurses etc. Imagine if Black Lives were not subjected to slavery or colonization, the greatness would be immeasurable.

I learned about this couple in my teens. She was badass woman. Their story is beautiful to me.

What an amazing story. She was so lucky to be white-looking enough able to get away with escape and having a nice big family❤❤❤❤

The same couldn't be said about her mother who was not only raped by her enslaver, but had to endure the pain of watching her little girl taken away from her.
