    George Moses Horton was the first enslaved poet to publish a book of poetry in the South. Although stereotypically depicted as a drunkard, he interacted with antebellum temperance discourses and performed poetry and orations at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Whereas temperance reformers and abolitionists often imagined freedom as a private dimension of the self, subject to the resources of the human will and the moral virtues of t…
