Abstract

This chapter considers the costs that various people were prepared to pay for freedom. Whether in North Carolina, Liberia, or elsewhere, people almost always purchased liberty for themselves with the things most dear to them. Sometimes they gained their liberty through forfeiting the freedom, property, and lives of others. Thus, the price of liberty was rarely negligible or equitable.
