Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a gripping firsthand account of slavery in the antebellum South, as narrated by a young man named Andrew Jackson. Escaping his life of servitude, Andrew embarks on a harrowing journey to freedom, facing relentless pursuit by slave hunters and navigating the treacherous terrain of a society where his very existence is deemed property. The author, who meticulously recorded Andrewââ â¢s story, allows us to understand the complex and often brutal realities of slavery through the lens of an individual directly affected by it. Andrew's narrative delves into the emotional toll of slavery, the lengths people would go to for freedom, the prevailing prejudices of the era, and the everyday acts of resistance undertaken by enslaved people. The book shines a light on a pivotal period in American history, giving voice to those who were often silenced, and reminding us of the enduring power of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable adversity.
