elizabeth blakely, the young teenage woman who escapes to boston. there are others. we have the example of this corner, city of richmond, that regularly brought people of color who were both men and women and children. but the overwhelming majority, in fact, our men. at least the documented cases that we have come up with, and when you do have women and children escaping, it's typically in family groups. and so relatively fewer numbers. but i think one thing to point out about this is that again, many of the escapes, escapes are completely undocumented, and so we don't really know hard numbers. but what we can say is that a lot of the documented escapes that we know about that were successful were escapes that were done, sort of, ad hoc. they were done opportunistically when typically a man who had maritime skills maybe befriended a member of a coup in a northbound vessel, a captain, and the crew member often suggested that maybe they would leave a space between bails of goods or bales of cotton where that person can secret themselves away. and so, as a kind of spur

so here's an example of austin beers who wrote a memoir about fugitive slave law days in boston. this is published in 1880 and in the in the 1850s, he operated a yacht called the moby -- they would go out to the harbor and talk to newly arrived ships from the south that were northern ships, but had been in southern harbors and they would ask discreetly if they had any contraband on board runaway enslaved persons and if they did those persons would quietly be taken off in the middle of the night and then entered into the networks of the underground railroad in the north so that they could be taking to places where they could not be in danger of re-enclavement from from bounty hunters and people who were seeking to bring enslaved persons back to their lawful owners. another way that we know about the underground railroad happening by water. is that southern ports municipalities and even entire states of the south past laws and and ordinances that that provided for ships that were leaving southern ports headed north to be searched or fumigated or otherwise controlled so that people

so boston was a loyalist. many fled the united states at the end of the war and this is an interesting chapter. it's kind of like you guys when at the end of the war and all is well. but no one in fact i was thinking about this when we watched the end of the war in afghanistan and as american forces were leaving people who have assisted american forces were doing their best to get out of afghanistan because they knew they would be subject to reprisal. that's exactly the situation so that's the situation of former slaves oren said they needed to get out of there. the british to back that i'm not going to say as many as they could but many of the former slaves and boston came one off to canada and found his way to sierra leone or at africa. so that's a straightforward story because boston king can make a move out of his own self-interest and they look at the other american slave who is a patriot master a man named jeffrey brace who is the slave of the patriot master and he didn't opt to fight on behalf of the pa

one was the name of boston cane is what he was called. and he watched as the british army was getting closer and closer to the plantation. when they finally came close, this is critical. that might require a broadening of our perspective of what life was like for slaves. but not every slave took every opportunity to flee for freedom because they knew even if i am free life is not going to be a bed of roses in the case of boston king he felt he in fact said that in his childhood he was very well treated his parents his father in particular was a skilled labor. and on the hole he thought life was relatively okay given the alternatives available to him. but there are couple incidents of mistreatment were he really o thought a situation was going to get worse. here's the time to make the break but he made the break he went over to the british line he sort of went along with the british army and he suffered the various hazards of war. he became badly ill his cot and ate another battle. he was finally recaptured by the patriots a side but then

the pirates were executed in july of 1726 at the edge of boston who bar.after the execution, their bodies were rode out to nix's mate, a very small island. it's not an island today, but it was back then. and fly's two come pay treeates were buried. fly himself was hung up in chains. and the local boston paper said that the reason that he was hung up in chains was to serve as a spectacle for the warning of others, especially seafaring men. but the warning was hardly necessary. fly's campaign was the last gasp of the goalen age of piracy. and this is where my book ends as well. the pirates depicted in black flags blue waters blazed a fiery and unforgettable path through the history of colonial america. for centuries their turbulent destructive and fascinating lives have beguiled, horrified and entertained us leaving an indelible and unique mark on our culture. undoubtedly there will be more pirate movies, i hope better ones, books, and television shows in the future, many of which will perpetuate myths or create them anew. in the end there is no need to embe
