On September 12, 1852, a seven-foot-two-inch, 350-pound enslaved man named Kofi arrived at Mississippi's Riverside Plantation after being sold six times in eighteen years because his extraordinary physical strength terrified every previous owner who recognized that someone with such capabilities could destroy white authority if ever provoked beyond endurance—a recognition that proved prophetic on August 3, 1863, when Kofi refused overseer Jacob Wilson's order to submit to whipping for minor infraction, grabbed the whip mid-strike, lifted Wilson off the ground with single hand around his throat, and then escaped eighty miles through Confederate territory to reach Union lines where he became free man whose military service helped destroy the slavery system that had claimed to own him. This is the epic true story of the Giant of Mississippi whose decade of carefully controlled submission finally exploded into resistance so spectacular that it demonstrated slavery's power depended entirely on enslaved people's psychological submission rather than on any genuine physical superiority of white masters—proving that when someone of Kofi's size and determination decided that arrangement was over, no amount of whips or threats or legal authority could prevent him from breaking both the instrument of punishment and the will of owners who believed their control was absolute.
