Details

Mammy Kate (also known as Kate; dates unknown) was an enslaved African-descended woman held by Stephen Heard (1740–1815), a Revolutionary War–era political leader in Georgia. She is remembered primarily through later historical accounts for assisting in Heard’s escape from imprisonment by British forces during the American Revolutionary War. Nearly all surviving information about her life comes from nineteenth- and early twentieth-century sources written by white authors and must be read with attention to their biases and limitations. These sources often reflect Lost Cause ideology and sentimental portrayals of slavery.
