Southern Roots: Rediscovering the Nations, Tribes, and True History of Southeastern Black Americans
The first volume in the groundbreaking Southern Roots Trilogy — uncovering the truth before the textbooks begin.
About the Book
Before we were called “Black,” we were known as the ancient peoples of America— leaders of towns, keepers of sacred law, and members of powerful confederacies.
This first volume in the Southern Roots Trilogy uncovers the erased history of Southeastern Black Americans, tracing their ancestry to the Indigenous Moors of the South and documenting the initial waves of invasion that dismantled their nations. Through maps, records, and eyewitness accounts, this book restores the names, identities, and truths hidden for centuries.
Reveals the Nations and Towns of the Southeast Before Slavery
Discover the thriving civilizations that existed long before the narrative of slavery — from the Apalachee Confederacy to the sacred red and white towns that shaped the South.
Documents the Legal Erasure and Reclassification of Indigenous Peoples
Learn how laws, treaties, and colonial policies systematically erased Indigenous identities and reclassified original Americans as “Negro” or “Black.”
Connects Southeastern History to the Global Moorish Legacy
Trace the deep ties between the Southeastern Indigenous nations and the global Moorish world — from architecture and governance to sacred traditions.
