The Ruth Coleman Story: The 14-Hour Revenge That Horrified America

In 1841, in Rutherford County, North Carolina, a slave named Ruth Coleman endured 7 years of systematic abuse at the hands of her master, tobacco farmer William Krenshaw. On an October morning, she finally snapped—but what happened next wasn't a quick act of violence. It was a calculated, 14-hour act of revenge so methodical and horrific that local authorities buried the records for over 180 years.

This is the true story of America's most disturbing case of pre-Civil War revenge, based on recently uncovered court documents, sealed testimonies, and personal letters that were hidden in a courthouse basement until 1923. Discover what really happened in that abandoned barn, why the screams lasted for exactly 14 hours and 23 minutes, and how one woman's breaking point led to a revenge plot that still chills historians today.
