    #OnThisDay in 1862, Robert Smalls commandeered the Planter, a Confederate transport ship, to take his family & 3 others to freedom. Smalls employed specialized knowledge to defeat the Confederacy, using Confederate Navy signals to take control of the ship & travel to free waters.pic.twitter.com/bUHekUy4FJ

        The U.S. Army promoted Robert Smalls to captain of the Planter almost 18 months after he seized the vessel for the Union, fighting in 17 battles. He repeatedly proved his nautical skills and courage under fire.pic.twitter.com/wxyLy2YjUf

        Smalls was elected as a South Carolina representative in 1874. He stated “My race needs no special defense for the past history of them in this country proves them to be equal of any people anywhere. All they need is an equal chance in the battle of life."https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/thrilling-tale-how-robert-smalls-heroically-sailed-stolen-confederate-ship-freedom-180963689/ …
