Description

Jeff Strickland tells the powerful story of Nicholas Kelly, the enslaved craftsman who led the Charleston Workhouse Slave Rebellion, the largest slave revolt in the history of the antebellum American South. With two accomplices, some sledgehammers, and pickaxes, Nicholas risked his life and helped thirty-six fellow enslaved people escape the workhouse where they had been sent by their enslavers to be tortured. While Nat Turner, Gabriel Prosser, and Denmark Vesey remain the most recognizable rebels, the pivotal role of Nicholas Kelly is often forgotten. All for Liberty centers his rebellion as a decisive moment leading up to the secession of South Carolina from the United States in 1861. This compelling micro-history navigates between Nicholas's story and the Age of Atlantic Revolutions, while also considering the parallels between race and incarceration in the nineteenth century and in modern America. Never before has the story of Nicholas Kelly been so eloquently told. Review 'The cruelties of the Old South's criminal justice system are laid bare in this account of the Charleston Workhouse Rebellion of 1849. Strickland resurrects slave rebel Nicholas Kelly and embeds his remarkable yet forgotten uprising within the contexts of South Carolina's largest urban area, the American South, and the broader Atlantic world.' Jeff Forret, author of Williams' Gang: A Notorious Slave Trader and His Cargo of Black Convicts'All for Liberty skilfully uncovers a forgotten slave rebellion in Charleston in the summer of 1849. Despite official attempts to downplay the uprising in the Charleston workhouse, sufficient evidence survives to prove that this event will lay to rest any idea that the enslaved were largely pacified between 1831 and 1861.' Tim Lockley, University of Warwick'Jeff Strickland's prodigious research in All for Liberty locates one of the nation's largest yet underappreciated slave insurrections, in Charleston's infamous Work House. His careful excavation of events persuasively links the tortured lives confined there, the impact of the Atlantic Revolutions upon them and South Carolina's response to slave agency: a drive to secession.' Bernard E. Powers, Jr, Director of the Center for the Study of Slavery in Charleston, College of Charleston'… brings the horrors and history of the workhouse front and center.' Harlan Greene, The Post and Courier Book Description The story of Nicholas Kelly, an enslaved man who gave his life for liberty leading the Charleston workhouse slave rebellion.

His first book, Unequal Freedoms: Ethnicity, Race, and White Supremacy in Civil War Era Charleston was a finalist for the George C. Rogers Prize for best book in South Carolina history.
