On his deathbed, William Thornton, one of South Carolina's wealthiest plantation owners, signed over his entire estate to Solomon, a man he had kept enslaved for over twenty years. The scratching of the quill against parchment in that dimly lit master bedroom would forever alter the course of dozens of lives and send shockwaves through the antebellum South. No one saw it coming—least of all the Thornton family, who had spent their lives secure in the knowledge that Magnolia Plantation's five thousand acres of prime cotton land would one day be theirs. The transfer of such immense wealth and power from white hands to Black would prove more than a mere change in ownership; it would become a dangerous act of defiance against the very foundations of Southern society in 1857.
