I was more thinking of Louisiana or Tennesee, trying to live through the hell of slavery, and if luck strikes, escape, if escape comes about, either trying to make his way North, join one of the gangs, and if I'm feeling like telling a tragic story, he gets recaptured on his way and is put into the proverbial chains again ( if I'm feeling particularly gloomy he then commits suicide ) but knowing my luck, I'll just end up detailing what slaves were put through

From what I can tell, slavery in Louisiana is more gentle.

Not to try to steer you in any direction (as I try to steer you in a certain direction) but Joel's gang has its winter base in the woods of northern Louisiana if you're interested in becoming an outlaw later.

I mean, that happens if my character escapes, and for that to happen there needs to be a lot of luck involved, and after that, a lot of luck to evade imminent recapture

J.C. and his people bust slaves out of plantations from time to time, is what I'm saying. So depending on where you begin you might not be alone in that endeavor.

We can whip twice as hard if you’d like

I feel like this whole thread should have one big disclaimer on it. I don’t condone American slavery.

I feel like it'd be very controversial. Would the mods allow it for narrative purposes? I mean, no one complained about Django.

Depends, it would put them in the line of succession. Also maybe someone wants an alliance with House Boykin? Never know.
