Chapter 1 (pp. 12-34) discusses the “geography of containment.”

p. 114: “During the Civil War, with emancipation seemingly just around the bend, the rival geography slowly came into the open.”

p. 117: “Though freedom had no specific location within or outside the postwar South and resided at no certain destination, it nonetheless had a spatial nature grounded in one of the same principles that had guided slaves antebellum rival geography: motion.”

p. 128: “During the Civil War, slaveholders strove to prevent bondpeople from running away to the northern army, devising new techniques and renewing older ones to reinforce their long-standing geographies of containment. Continuity as well as change characterized planters’ wartime responses to black movement.”
