​The Man Who Stole a Warship: Robert Smalls and the Audacity of Freedom

You think you know the Wild West—but here’s a true story even Hollywood couldn’t make up. Robert Smalls, born enslaved in South Carolina, pulled off one of the boldest escapes in American history. In 1862, during the Civil War, he stole a Confederate warship—the CSS Planter—sailed it past enemy forts while disguised as the captain, and delivered it straight to Union forces. His daring act won freedom for himself, his crew, and their families, and even influenced Abraham Lincoln’s decision to allow Black soldiers to fight for the Union. Smalls went on to become a ship captain and a U.S. Congressman. This is the story of the man who turned courage and intelligence into freedom—and changed a nation’s history forever.
