Flight to Canada

Synopsis:

Ishmael Reed proves he's a formidable historical novelist in this sharp, wildly funny slave's-eye-view of the Civil War. Three slaves infected with Dysaethesia Aethipica (a term coined in the nineteenth century for the disease that makes black people run away) escape from Virginia.
