Description: Rebels and Runaways : Slave Resistance in Nineteenth-Century Florida, Hardcover by Rivers, Larry Eugene, ISBN 0252036913, ISBN-13 9780252036910, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Larry Eugene Rivers, president of Fort Valley State U., presents a study of slavery and resistance to it in Florida from the 1820s through the Civil War. He draws on numerous sources--court and probate records, ledgers, oral histories and slave narratives, newspapers, as well as the work of previous slave-historians--but makes a point of emphasizing a humanistic rather than statistical analysis. For Rivers, it is important to retain a slave's voice and humanity. Nonetheless, most chapters feature tables of historical statistics about slaves and their behaviors. Organizing the material in tree sections thematically and therein chronologically, Rivers examines non-violent and day-to-day resistance such as theft, the challenges/strategies/destinations of running away, and finally violent resistance in the form of rebellion and during the Civil War.
