Voices of Carolina Slave Children | Nancy Rhyne

2 posts | 1 read

The slave narratives compiled from interviews in the Works Projects Administration (WPA) files recorded eyewitness accounts of 19th century American slavery. Elderly ex-slaves recounted memories of their childhood during their enslaved period to convey a powerful image of their lives and daily activities. They describe work, games, food, clothing, thoughts about their situation and the Civil War, and what freedom gave to each one of them. These stories present brief glimpses into the lives and customs of enslaved children on North and South Carolina plantations.

Voices of Carolina Slave Children | Nancy Rhyne

Books like this should be a mandatory part of curriculum. The author is white and has written many books on Carolina history; this narrative collection contains many stories about what life was like as a slave. There are accounts of being sold, separated, beaten; Union and Confederate soldiers during the war, the moments when freedom was announced, and more. A tough but necessary read on the horrors of the slave south.

I remember when ‘mancipation came. Freedom came and was like having been to the Devil and come back.
