Webinar: Overseers and Drivers on Charles Drayton’s Plantations

October 24, 2024

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.
