The concept of enslaved people having agency in ending their own slavery was something that I started exploring in grad school papers 1980s and published in 1996.- Gettings, Robert. (1996). Contributions of African-Americans to the Ending of Slavery in Massachusetts. Journal of Hokusei Junior College (32):41 - 48.
I found these two later research articles that made me consider the topic more deeply:- Blanck, E. V. (1998). Reaching for freedom: Black resistance and the roots of a gendered African-American culture in late eighteenth century Massachusetts, Master's thesis, College of William & Mary. W&M ScholarWorks. https://dx.doi.org/doi:10.21220/s2-yxr6-3471
- Cameron, C. A. (2010). To plead our own cause: African Americans in Massachusetts and the making of the antislavery movement, 1630-1835 Doctoral dissertation, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. doi: https://doi.org/10.17615/psha-8p87
