From the early eighteenth century, South Carolina laws required the presence of overseers on plantations with sizeable enslaved populations. Though these men, and other white employees, were a constant presence in the lives of enslaved people at Drayton Hall, they are not well-represented individually in the historic record. In this webinar, curator Amber Satterthwaite investigates the documents of Charles Drayton I in order to shed light on the interactions between enslaved African Americans and the overseers who managed Drayton’s plantations.
Join us on October 24, 2024 for a special webinar as Amber Satterthwaite, Curator of Education and Museum Programs shares her research on Overseers and Drivers on Charles Drayton’s Plantations.
