Surviving Slavery: The Sale of Indigenous People

Women, children, combatants, noncombatants, Christian and non-Christian – anyone who was Indigenous during King Philip’s War could be captured and sold into slavery to places as distant as Tangier or the Caribbean. Historian Lin Fisher reveals this little known history with an in-person and live-streamed talk at the Colonial Society, Beacon Hill, Boston. Based in part on his forthcoming book, Stealing America, which you can purchase at a 50% discount through PHB. A topic that’s both heartbreaking and essential.
