First sentence: When Harriet Tubman told Sarah Bradford that she could not “understand” those who were enslaved in the South Carolina Lowcountry, she may have been referring to their speech, but there were larger differences between what she had experienced on Maryland’s Eastern Shore and the systems of enslavement in the South Carolina Lowcountry, where some African Americans were free months before the Emancipation Proclmation went into effect on January 1, 1863, as we will see.
