Скачать или смотреть Evelyn of Texas: The Slave Woman Who Whipped Her Mistress on the Same Tree of Her Pain

In June 1863, on a Texas plantation ruled by the cruel Margaret Whitmore, an enslaved woman named Evelyn endures years of brutal punishment at the whipping tree. After receiving forty lashes for a crime she didn't commit, Evelyn reaches her breaking point. Days before a planned mass escape, she drugs Margaret, chains her in the same place where countless slaves suffered, and delivers ten lashes with the same whip used on her own back. This act of poetic justice becomes a turning point—not just for Evelyn, but for the thirty-seven people who flee the plantation together, risking everything for freedom. Through a harrowing two-week journey pursued by slave catchers and dogs, Evelyn and most of her group reach Union lines, transforming from property into free people. Her story becomes a powerful symbol of resistance, proving that even in the darkest moments of oppression, the human spirit refuses to be broken. This is a tale of courage, justice, and the price of freedom during America's Civil War.
