Slavery and Marronage in the Great Dismal Swamp - Dr. Marcus P. Nevius

Listen Later

Dr. Lynn Price Robbins and Isaac S. Loftus are joined by Historian Dr. Marcus P. Nevius to look into the Great Dismal Swamp in Virginia and North Carolina and its role as a haven for self-emancipated enslaved people. We examine who settled in the inhospitable environment and how—using unconventional sources—individual stories of such freedom seekers can be revealed for us today.
