Moses Roper was born in 1815 in Caswell County, North Carolina, the son of a white planter (Henry) and his house slave (Nancy). He went on to challenge the racial logic of slavery, and his 1837 autobiography repeatedly sold out, necessitating ten reprintings in the two decades after its publication.
