Publisher's Synopsis
The goal of this project is to investigate the enslaved runaways of colonial Georgia as a means to show their impact on the Atlantic world. Many important works have chronicled African resistance to enslavement in North America and informed this study in kind. Such contributions have produced expansive studies of resistance across the history of British North America.1 Other studies have incorporated runaways into more intensive regional studies. Scholars have also noted the influence of ideology on the enslaved and runaways. Such works include studies of religion and revolutionary ideology.
