Chapter 8 de 34 · 10 min para leer el capítulo
In Chapter 8, Austin Gore replaces Hopkins as overseer and kills Denby for refusing to leave a creek, yet keeps his position without facing trial. The narrator recounts further killings and an armed attack, arguing that laws cannot protect enslaved people when courts refuse their testimony against white attackers.
