Thanks for joining Episode 5. Today we discuss James Forten, one of the richest men in Philadelphia in the early 1800s. Born a free African American in 1766, James Forten loved his country, and lived most of his teens on ships; ranging from the infamous prison ship the HMS Jersey, to the Commerce, to many many other ships that he outfitted with sails. He lived to become one of the most pre-eminent Philadelphians and Abolitionists of our time.
