The Two Lives of Sally Miller: A Case of Mistaken Racial Identity in Antebellum New Orleans Annotated edition

In 1843, the Louisiana Supreme Court heard the case of a slave named Sally Miller, who claimed to have been born a free white person in Germany. This book explores this legal case and its reflection on broader questions about race, society, and law in the antebellum South.
