The United States Governed by Six Hundred Thousand Despotsav John Swanson Jacobs
Om The United States Governed by Six Hundred Thousand Despots

"Narratives written by enslaved Africans in America are few in number. Some are transformative, like that of Harriet Jacobs; others are lesser, like the brief one attributed to Harriet's brother, John S. Jacobs. The revelation, here, of a much longer, richer, and more radical version of John's story, is a major historical event.
