Slave Narratives: a Folk History of Slavery in the United States offers a powerful and unfiltered glimpse into the lives of African Americans in the antebellum South. This volume, Volume XIV, South Carolina Narratives, Part 3, compiled by the United States Work Projects Administration, presents a collection of first-person accounts gathered directly from former slaves.

These narratives, a vital part of American oral history, provide invaluable insights into the institution of slavery in South Carolina and the experiences of those who endured it. Originally collected as part of a broader effort to document American life, these interviews capture the voices of individuals who lived through a tumultuous period in United States history.

Explore the realities of slavery through the words of those who knew it best. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in United States history, African American history, and the enduring legacy of slavery. A unique and important contribution to historical and biographical literature.
