32:19Now Playing2026 marks the 250th anniversary of the American Revolutionary War. While the national mythology behind the “America at 250” celebrations focuses on the 18th-century battle between Patriot and Loyalist elites, what does the story of the American Revolution and the founding of the United States look like through the eyes of enslaved people? In this episode of Rattling the Bars, host Mansa Musa speaks with Professor Justene Hill Edwards, author of “Unfree Markets: The Slaves’ Economy and the Rise of Capitalism in South Carolina.”
Producer / Videographer / Editor: Cameron Granadino
