Robert Smalls wasn’t just a man—he was a one-man revolution. Smalls was slave who stole a Confederate warship, sailed his way to freedom, and then went back to kick the Confederacy’s ass. Born into slavery, Smalls pulled off one of the greatest heists in American history, disguising himself as a Confederate captain and delivering a stolen ship to the Union. But he didn’t stop there—he went on to become a Union naval officer, a U.S. Congressman, and a major force in Reconstruction. In this episode Ben and Producer Andrew Jacobs tell the story of a man who refused to be anyone’s prisoner and made history on his own terms.
