Beschreibung

The stories of hundreds of African-Americans who lived in bondage are preserved in this powerful 1839 chronicle. The first-person narratives from observers of the time offer an intimate view of the working and living conditions in slavery across many states.

Portrait

Connecticut farmer-turned-abolitionist Theodore Dwight Weld (1803-1895) was a central leader of the American Anti-Slavery Society and traveled the country lecturing against slavery. His work in compiling the testimony of those who had experienced life in bondage was a major influence on Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin.
