Charles Ball is associated with the slave narrative Slavery in the United States, which recounts the experiences of a man enslaved in Maryland and the Deep South, including forced labour, sale away from family and attempts to escape.

The strongest audience overlap is with readers of slavery history, African American autobiography and primary sources on the nineteenth-century United States. Read more Less
