Less commonly known is the story of American slaves who were able to use the war as an opportunity to negotiate their freedom.

Initially, the British offered land in Canada or the West Indies to escaped slaves who were willing to offer intelligence or help as guides. Listen to learn more about how enslaved African Americans were able to negotiate their freedom during the War of 1812, and how this impacted the institution of slavery in the United States.\n
