Plantations, Slavery and Freedom on Maryland's Eastern Shore

Plantations, Slavery and Freedom on Maryland's Eastern Shore examines the complex history of agricultural labor and enslaved communities on the Delmarva Peninsula. Through archival research and historical analysis, the work explores how plantation economies shaped social structures, family life, and resistance movements across generations. This scholarly study illuminates the experiences of enslaved and free African Americans navigating systems of bondage and the gradual transitions toward freedom in a border region caught between North and South.
