In 1805, Banjo was born into slavery on a plantation in Scott County, Mississippi. He grew up on the Cedar Bend Plantation owned by Jebediah Patrick. At the age of five, Banjo began to work in the cotton fields. In the deep south of Mississippi is where slaves experienced more back-breaking work and harsher punishments.
