Black people are superheroes….so you understand the mechanics & mental capacity it takes to steal a ship?! A confederate 1at that….disguised as the captain?! i wanna see this made into a movie
In 1862, Robert Smalls stole a Confederate Ship and sailed it to Freedom disguised as a captain, freeing his crew and their families.
He also educated himself, became a successful businessman, bought his ex-owners house, and served 5 years in Congress.
