In 1788, the son of the leader of the Confederation of Futa Jallon in West Africa was commanding his 2,000 troops against a neighboring military force and was captured. 


He was sold into slavery and spent the next 40 years of his living as a slave in Mississippi. That was until a chance meeting discovered his true identity, which eventually lead to his freedom and the involvement of the President of the United States. 


Learn more about Abdulrahman Ibrahim Ibn Sori, the prince who became a slave, who became an issue in a presidential election, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
