This book offers a firsthand account of the realities of slavery in the antebellum South. Through conversations with enslaved people across several states, the author paints a vivid picture of their daily lives, thoughts, and feelings. The narrative delves into the complex and often contradictory nature of the "peculiar institution," exploring themes of oppression, resistance, and the yearning for freedom. It sheds light on the legal framework that upheld slavery, the economic factors that perpetuated it, and the social dynamics between enslaved people and their enslavers. By giving voice to the enslaved individuals themselves, this book challenges prevailing narratives and exposes the human cost of a brutal system. It serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of empathy, justice, and the enduring fight for human dignity.
