Abstract:
Moses Grandy, born into slavery in Camden County, was an author and abolitionist. After being a slave for the first forty years of his life, he became free and worked to purchase the freedom of his wife and children. In 1842, he recounted his life that was published in a book entitled ‘Narrative of the Life of Moses Grandy, Late Slave in the United States of America.’ The narrative helped to bring awareness of slavery and fuel the abolitionist movement in both the United States and England.
