- Thirty Years A Slave by Louis HUGHES (1832 - 1913)
Louis Hughes was born a slave near Charlottesville, Virginia to a white father and a black slave woman. Throughout his life he worked mostly as a house servant, but was privy to the intimate details and workings of the entire McGee cotton plantation and empire.
In Thirty Years A Slave Hughes provides vivid descriptions and explicit accounts of how the McGee plantation in Mississippi, and the McGee mansion in Tennessee functioned--accounts of the lives of the many slaves that lived, suffered and sometimes died under the cruel and unusual punishments meted out by Boss and his monstrously unstable and vindictive wife. He described the profane manner in which this peculiar institution dehumanized, on a daily basis, not only the black man but even more so the white man.
Ultimately, Thirty Years A Slave is an expression of Hughes's desire to accurately describe the nature of the influence that the institution of slavery had on this country during the two hundred years in which it existed here, and the influence it continues to have on the heart and soul of a post-Civil War, post-14th Amendment United States.

Read by James K. White
It boils my blood to think of how young people today take the sacrifices of our ancestors for granted. They take their luxuries for granted. Most of all, many don’t treat each other with the love and compassion that springs from a common background. It’s a testament to our strength and resilience that we’re still here.
Best comment I've read
This is why for all 4 of my offspring (16 thru 25) I've literally had to force them to read narratives like this one; or World's Great Men of Color by J.A. Rogers; or any documentary on our ancestors' struggle in the North and the South. I kind of slacked up a bit on the youngest one though. We've got to expose them to the information and to the elders who are still alive. They may or may not get it immediately however I believe (based on what I've seen) that it will bear some good results later in their lives.
I wish schools had to show true story movies like "12 Years A Slave" It is currently on Hulu.
It would help show kids the horrors of slavery.
It boils my blood to think that young people don't even know that there are still ten million black slaves in Africa Right Now. Held by other black people, too. Isn't that something... Educate your children properly, fairly; SEE: COMPLETELY
@@nolongervailable9400 , Yes, modern slavery exists in many different forms. However, this is about the Transatlantic Slave Trade in particular. So, what does that have to do with modern day slavery and pointing out black culprits? Wtf?
James White is the perfect narrator for this. He doesn't rush through the book so I can really get a picture of each section as I read along. Nice work!
How can someone be more impressed by the reader of the story more than its main hero , a slave who made it alive out of hell ?
Dare to comprehend !!!!!
What I find amazing about slave owners, is the fact they left European countries including Britain and Ireland because of oppression. They seeked freedom and a better life, then became the oppressors. Says a lot about human behavior and how we need a saviour from ourselves.
It always infringing. When I look at Israel after what happen to Jews people hmmm
true
That human behavior exist today and forever, China is the current anomaly of that behavior and the Europeans will never exit from that inhuman behavior
People of the time were brutalised and devoid of education and compassion by the circumstances of their own lives which caused them to be brutal in turn.
Brutality is human nature ...we have evolved in violence.
The perseverance and strength of my ancestors is amazing
Don't get comfortable.. the left is doing everything they can to remove all history of slavery. You know what they say about history repeating itself.
Lllllllllllllllll
@ eli browne
They are indeed. A glorious heritage of perseverance and strength that far too many African Americans know so little if anything at all about, and a glorious history that so few know about, honor, and cherish. To have endured the peculiar institution should be a badge of honor, not a token of shame for having had to endure it. The Jews memorialize and enshrine their horrific legacy under Hitler, and rightly so, why then should African Americans be ashamed of such a rich and startling narrative of perseverance and strength. If anything, the legacy of slavery should be a great foundation upon which African Americans build on rather than be weighed down by the shame of it. But I suppose some things take time.
@@AerialEscape like to I'll
@Slim Pickens your people 🤣😂🤣😂 nigga please
Am in tears. Louis never saw his mother again, after the seperation 😭😭😭😭😭😭
This testimony along with Frederick Douglass had brought me to tears also and causes anguish in my soul.
@@sherrygaynor3126 Oh! Dear!
One thing that sticks to mind from the former slaves is that they never turn their backs on the Lord despite what happened to them. I am also reminded the of desire to learn or educate themselves, something under the cruel institution of slavery, were forbidden to do. As I think about what this former slave speaks of education, it reminds me that as a desendant of former slaves, America's slaves, I can do better.
@Julia Mimi non-sense. so, I guess they called on the Nation Islam and Farakahn's god. What god did they call on? Can you answer that? Jesus wasn't blonde hair and blue eyed. I believe he was Black, period. I believe the Apostle Paul was a Black man.
What are you going to do to cover your sins?
@@frankstocker1921 I'm with you!
My paternal great grandparents were Virginia slaves. Joseph and Frances. My grandfather was their youngest child and I was blessed to have him in my life until I was 18 years old. I treasure the stories he shared with me about his parents.
ADOS...
My great grandpap was a slaver in Calvert Maryland.
So
This was presented well. Others that I shared the link with were grateful with the presentation and are looking forward to more history presented this way. Thank you Fab Audio Books.
@@JennaH-l1j Your father the Devil?
A heartfelt thank you. The narrator's calming voice helped me to keep listening. 🙌
Same here.
As if black people didn’t endure enough abuse, the fact that slavers and slave traders so nonchalantly separated men and women from their own children makes my blood boil 🤬
charissecoal yes this is the worse mental abuse & emotional abuse that a human can suffer
I agree with you! I'm white but don't n never would agree with any of this. Wrong !!!!
And yet, in 2020 nobody gives a second thought to CPS. It's the same thing!
If you truly care about children's wellbeing in impoverished circumstances, you help the family, the mothers and fathers. Outside of sexual abuse & gross physical abuse, there is no need to separate children from their parents. But, all too often poor people of all colors are seen as unfit & neglectful. Then the State takes the children, places them with foster parents, and typically the parent is forced to repay the State for the care of those children. Basically, the State can profit off of your kids. Don't kid yourself, different methods & enforcement. But government is slavery. You might be consenting to your status, but that doesn't make it RIGHT.
@@goldilox369 That's very true! The conditions are different however, under CPS their is hope of seeing your children again. They are Not SOLD or Beaten, or made to slave away working from dawn till after dusk. They are not raped or killed by any Masters and live a life of relative freedom. Foster children get an education as well and quality medical care. I see where you're getting, but It's not the same, in spite of the fact that it is wrong. I know all of this since I and my siblings were brought up in the Foster Care System during the 1980's. It's very painful to be a foster child, but it's nothing like Slavery of the transatlantic trade.
@@godschildyes This is true. It's nowhere near as tragic. I'm sorry you had to go through that though.
my ancestor, rest in peace!
I’d be interested in the generations since and how it affected their lives
Really? You should be so proud❤️
I'm so so sorry tears are pouring out, my great great great grandfather on my daddy's side. old man Wyatt Jefferson Hughes owned and sold slaves from Charlottesville and Richmond area, momma said he was so mean he would whip his slaves and his own sons. his sons ran away from home. my daddy had a lot of troubles in his life, men were very emotionally distant not very expressive him or his father, daddy alcoholic, he quit last 7 years life lived divorced with my younger sister, I told momma its no wonder the things in the past, daddy his father and grandfather all died around same day Dec. 2 I prayed their ancestor must have done some wickedness on that day. God knows. bible says member iniquity to the 4th generation. his blessings on his own to 1000 gen. this second time listening to this several years ago, your ancestor does resemble the Hughes boys a loooooot, my momma has some paperwork somewhere around the house she done genealogy on her side and a lil on my dads. I don't know if anyone ever said I'm sorry to yall but God knows I will. I pray his reward in heaven was great all he had suffered in this life and I pray God's blessings on your family.
Get the fuck outta here. Here’s that attention you want, lol.
I think slavery was the worst holocaust ever. There should b thousands of museums to immortalize the millions of victims. Every aspect of it was so vicious- so cruel! the saddest thing to me was when they would rip young children from their mothers to SELL - I can not even imagine what these poor human brings suffered...
So sad to even imagine. I keep crying 😭😭😭😭😭😭

flowgo not only that-if it had not been for the Grace of our God, the wrong side could’ve won the war and we (us now) would be slaves. So glad the good Lord had mercy upon us.
@@awillis244 I do not live in your country, but if that was still happening today, I think the whole world (I would hope!) would want to fight the south. I for one would! But then again, Americans are the most armed people, so maybe not, cuz they have so many guns, I just think no matter what the groups are doing, dont go with group think, if something feels wrong it is. I dont care what the politics are. I would not have been ok with that kind of cruelty. It literally breaks my heart.
flowgo Instead there are thousands of museums, statues and holidays to moralize, celebrate and honor the perpetrators of evil
I wonder why this kind of book is not read in high school...

I just spent with this man, a lifetime as a slave. What a life! He had no idea how invaluable his words would be for all of us today.
What a strong man. It is unbelievable how inhumane people could be. CAN be. Unbelievable. I wish I could hug every child, every man, every woman who suffered this history and tell them I'm sorry for their suffering 🙏🏼
They are the people of Deuteronomy chapter 28. The Most High said he would bless those that bless them. Others will suffer in the exact manner that they did unto them Revelation 13:10 and Isaiah 14:1-4 & vs 21 and Joel 3:7-8.
@@tanyapeters5062 Yes, this is true.
Start by hugging their descendants, there are enough of us around.
I thought the exact same thing. Im thankful that we proved everyone wrong.
Its one thing to hear this history taught in a classroom...It's an entirely different thing hearing it from a survivor in the first person. I now feel so very petty when I consider my own daily grumblings and complaints.
So sweet (for lack of a better word) must have been the reunion of Louis and Billy. I can't even imagine. I felt so happy hearing that ...
I love these audio books very helpful and just makes me visualize how it could have been being a slave and how terrible it truly was
Well worth listening to!!!! I am so glad he and his family succeeded !!!!!
I love learning about my history it teaches me to be more grateful
Really enjoyed every word. Louis led a protected life compared to other slaves...even tho' he got whipped a few time...God bless our people who suffered such hardships to give us; the grand children equality & respect.
Sunnie Dae Seriously a protected life how please explain that cause I'm really puzzled how you came to that?
meosha dinwiddie that's because she's white pretending to be black unbelievable!
Sunny Dae you're Not a African American
This isn't about you or your Struggles.... That's the Thing about Slavery everyone Takes Everything from you including your History
#DOAS and Proud of it
My grandma always said god rest her soul Black people done came a long way since slavery
What a fascinating, important book, and in beautifully spoken english. A very brave American.
The amount of torture that he and other slaves endure was unimaginable. But they want us to just move on.
fredelyne William right! I always say this! All these experiences and the systemic oppression combined, that we see to this very day, has a huge part in the lack of success we see among many black people. We’ve been stolen from mentally, financially, physically, spiritually etc! It’s crazy that major research wasn’t done on the lasting effects from slavery.
Blacks aren't they only people in history to suffer.
It’s pathetic you people always try to find a way to downplay or water shit down.
@@Nat0528 What about the new black emigrants that have moved to America and immediately got about the business of Learning job skills , education, and careers. How can they get on the slavery bandwagon? Can you give them some advice on getting with the program of how they should be feeling the effects from 150 years ago?
@@whereismyxanax and whod said that they were..

M W imagine what those young kids suffered as just children being raped as kids too and abused with no mother or father to protect them
NOT ONLY SAD HORRIFYING MY BELOVED CHILDREN WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THEM WILL THEY BE WHIPPED TO DEATH WILL MY DAUGHTER BE MERCILESSLY RAPED. HORROR THOUGHTS
Just think of that poor little 7 year old black girl shot in the head by BLM while she sat in the car with her father.
Ssssooo True
The sufferings of the past should be known to all generations so its never repeated. It starts with each of us to learn and never let it be forgotten!
Slavery was horrible, beyond reason. This is a crime against humanity.
I think every ancestor of each slave that worked at a particular plantation should receive a share of the earnings from the historic tours funds that they make.
Totally agree 🇨🇦

I can't get my mind around the brutal beatings.
Ruby Redd yes very true slave Trauma is in the genes off today’s young black men and women in USA slavery still exists but labelled in other forms in America
Ruby Redd yes that what I saying too , as whites have made many agendas to fail and effect & destroy the black race up tell now in USA & Canada , many black men in jail many are innocent , no life for Blacks in The suburbs nothing for the young no future , even famous celebrities are placed in prison like Bill Cosby and R.kelly , used and abused for their talents , slavery is still on just in different naming and forms , Black young teenagers killing each other this is an agenda from slavery also black men leaving black ladies all single moms this is from slavery agenda , whites turned blacks against each other from slavery times , I can’t believe they worked hard labour for free this isn’t acceptable and wrong against humanity plus beaten too , black men have no dignity or pride in today world leaving black ladies for white ladies , not real men , this is another agenda from slave trade
@@jaajaarogers9101 really in the genes I think that's bull shit. Slavery in different forms I wish you would explain it to me. I know education system is not working. That's controlled by the Democratic party. Blacks vote overwhelmingly Democratic. Education is the best way to fight poverty. Please show me some examples of modern day slavery in America.
Only a devil would do another like that,u agree??
It is just unbelievable the suffering our forefathers went through. When it seemed as though Black Lives did not matter at all. How very very sad.
Every American should listen to this.
New Adam Slavery is anti-white? 😂Goddamn if anything that’s the one time it’s appropriate to be anti-white.

Very-very sad and true story, and the fantastic story of immense will and strength and indurance.
And this is just ONE persons story. EVERY SLAVE has a story. Sad.
@@NYC1927 So true.
I've been listening to a lot of diaries from early America, & the slave diaries are so heartbreaking. I sit with my hand over my heart in sheer horror. :(

Slavery is still continuing in Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, etc. Officially, it has been abolished, but since Mohammed approved of slavery, followers of the Islamic state still practice this cruel system of oppression.
Hiring a central african. Holding their passport and promising to pay $30 (and often not paying) a month for a 20 hour 7 days a week on a two year contract.
No the prophet freed slaves at every possible chance and dont judge Islam for the practices of muslims .
The Arab slave trade is hundreds of years older than the Trans Atlantic trade .
The male African slaves in the Islamic slave trade were castrated.

Thank you so much
Thank you, this was very interesting.
WOW. we have an awesome history. So happy we continue to share it with the world.
Fascinating and intriguing...
suffering has no meaning. all of the excruciating agonies of history were for nothing
No suffering is for nothing however momentarily seems so. The blacks were unbelievers, many turned to Christ
@@rosegoodwin9434 You are emphatically wrong! The Africans who sold us were and still are unbelievers! We always believed in Yahweh and were sold into slavery as punishment for our disobedience to the Lord! Deuteronomy 28. We are the scattered ones mentioned in the Bible! Our captivity was prophesied long ago and the transatlantic slave trade was the carrying out of that! As for being an "unbeliever", consider the fact that even Satan and the demons "believe". Merely believing in Christ is no entry into heaven. Many a slave trader and slave owner have their home in hell to this very day and they certainly "believed"! Slavery did not happen to save a people who were already saved and already knew Yahweh! It happened to fulfill prophecy!
Thanks to you excellent book read by an excellent reader

This book hits you on a whole new level, god bless. The reader was smooth to the ears too.
Growing up in the South during the 1960’s and 70’s. , I witnessed prejudiced behavior and attitudes between the local whites and blacks.
I’m embarrassed to say I bought into this outlook unfortunately.
Upon reaching my mid 30’s to 40’s I experienced a much deeper understanding of the horrific slavery treatment the black slaves and the black population in General.
To hear of the physical pain and abuse slave’s dealt with breaks my heart.
I watch and listen to this history, and I wonder, where would this nation be if it didn't have the scourge of slavery. It is a sore in the skin of our country, just as the imbedded whipping marks on the backs of those uncompensated producers who help build this country........God rest ye (UN)merry gentleman.....
Absolutely amazing and heartbreaking.😢
Wow...this is fascinating. Its speaks to resiliency and fortitude, as well as as the dominance. But at point 44:01 to know that we were the engineers and inventors, and producers of farming equipment or supplemental equipment speaks to the other inventions we made. AND NONE OF IT WAS PATENED...so if it was used on other farms..no royalties to the slave inventor....
Yes, our people were exploited indefinitely as a way of life.
sad for the ppl..
they worked their miserable life away..under harsh treatments
I love them all..💟💟💟💟🇨🇦

Amazing book👏
Why hasn't there been any graduate level research into the PTSD that the African American community has gone Tru? If we know that war places trauma 3 generations into the future....I can only imagine what will be found in that community!

I hope the school system will start to put the real history books 📚 in school so that the children of to day will not make the same mistakes that their grand or great grand parents made.. it is ashame that the people of the past did not understand the type of slavery that the Bible mention.
It’s horrible how people were treated in the belief they were merely property. How brainwashed you have to be to forget they are people
Little Traveller it was an on going business white men where going back and forth to Africa to get black people their was no laws no rights those days The Africans didn’t fight the whites when being forced into slavery looks like powerful high black people sold a lot off slaves to whites , also even blacks well off in the south had slaves too , Arabs began slave trade way before USA whites
Let's not forget the sexual abuse men women and children went through as slaves
@@jaajaarogers9101 today look at the white supremacists who ancestors were part of the slave trade today we still have racism and even Trump is white supremacists black people are still suffering here in 2020 do to systematic racism here in America some white people will never change

They had no business buying other human beings! Lets not make any excuses for them no matter how subtle!
@@dianeriley8298 Yes! Immensely! 😬
I listened to it as I was sleeping . IN and out of sleep. I finally woke up in chapter four and there we find our charge in a daring adventure sojourning to Federal lines to establish his free life. With two bottles of whiskey and 10 dollars he gained the confidence of two Yankee soldiers who greatly assisted in the retrieve of his wife and her sister. The war was just over but danger was still real from vindictive masters. Yet the made it from Memphis to Cincinnati joining up with his mother in law. On to Detroit then to Winnipeg , a brief repreve , then eventually settling in the hotel business in Chicago in about 1876 . Doing well for his wife was conducting a profitable laundering business which he eventually joined and as he bids husband readers adieu get was gainfully again a professional nurse
Not too bad but as usual auto correct slammed my ass on the last 4 lines . You can never check it good enough with that evil correct always lurking
Thanks so much for sharing this. Listened to this while at work and had to come home and finish the rest.
pure evil!
Agreed. It's really important to remember the past so we can learn from it and consign slavery and other evils to history once and for all! FAB
Charles Brooks yes very evil they didn’t even take care off the slaves as they where used like machines constantly a machine is taken care off in reality they should at least taken care off their physical & mental health, we are all equal slavery is a sin
Well this happened hundred of years ago and it break my heart but looking at today with Trump as president he's wanting to go backwards and treat people of color as second class citizens he even said that he hates black people people don't vote for this white supremacists
@@dianeriley8298 where did Trump say he hates black people? Did u make that up?

I need to purchase more Slave Narratives.
My boy really hustled nearly 2 bands in total lol.
I have tried to find Louis Hughes in the slave records and cannot find him. He was obviously very well educated or else this was written by a ghost writer. The Slave Narratives are much more educational on a number of levels in my opinion.
@Rick Boyd Well, since this was written well after the abolition of slavery, that seems unlikely. There is a Wiki article about containing facts beyond those in this book.
Chapter times are in the Video Description.

How so he was in slavery hard labor
@@Gypseygirls Hardships and atrocities in this life does not disprove God's love and support for us. Sometimes it even points to the fact that we belong to Him. God's children often suffer greatly in this world. He will never leave us, nor forsake us, no matter what we suffer. He will see us through this life and take us home to our rest. 💜
I am confused about where the slaves were sold. At first it is said that the buyers only wanted slaves that had no scars, but then it is said that some slaves were sent there by their owners to be beaten 39 lashes. Wouldn't that causes scars?
I noticed that too. I think early on he was talking about when he was in Virginia as a young boy? He was later sold to "McGhee" or "McGuire" (forgot the name) who raised and owned him in Tennessee. So things may have been different in the part of Tennessee where his plantation was.
These owner. Were very evil. The pastors at that time were slave owners themselves. They never understood God's way of life, they never understood that judgment day was coming. I beleive
that now , yes even now they probably wish that they had understood God ' s true Words.
Hope those slave owners are being whipped and burned in hell. Karma payback.
@@Chimpangel God forgave them as they must have been operating under the influence of the most evil one, beelzebub; it's the present day we must worry about because if their descendants are reading and witnessing the same history and its horror as we all are and still insist to have the upper hand on matters, then that is a concern.
@@winniehall5569 The whole official leadership of the Southern Protestant Churches endorsed slavery.

How just how do you sale your children
When you have no choice
Baffling to me how humans can be so easily made to think others as sub-human; all school age children ought to listen or read this book written by this amazing man who lived injustice; enough of critical race theory but an actual voice of a slave;
I listened to the whole thing. What struck me most with this narrative and with other narratives of this nature is how important their Christian faith was to them, how much they prayed and their close relationship to the God of Israel. It saddens me when I see that so many of our brothers turn to Islam thinking that Christianity is the white man's religion.
Those people didn't have much during those awful days of slavery but it seems like God poured our his Spirit upon them liberally. We need to as a people return to Jesus Christ.
It also gives me joy to know of often the enslaved would out-smart their masters. Truly a disgusting time in human history, I'm so thankful it's over but lets not forget the millions of people across the world who are still being held in bondage today in these modern times. Let us pray and fight for their freedom.
Amen. Islam is Ashkenazi who sold our people into slavery in the first place! Crazy how so many of our own do not see that! Christianity is not the white man's religion. Unfortunately Christianity was widely used to justify slavery. Yet even in the Bible, it was prophesied that our people would go into captivity and would one day be acknowledged and healed by our Father.
@@godschildyes you have to severely twist the bible in order try and make it justify slavery. I dont see where the transatlantic slave trade is prophesied in the bible. Can u tell me where u think it is?
@@MrIrrepressible Here is another.
ua-cam.com/video/bEDfrBBPZzg/v-deo.html
@@MrIrrepressible No, brother. I have twisted nothing. I do not justify slavery by merely stating the truth. Just look. Here is a place where you can start.
I tried to give you the links, but YT deletes links now days. So look up the video, "White people and even Ashkenazi Jews saying African Americans are the real Jews".
Another to look up is, "The TRUE Hebrew Israelites defined by Scripture and history." By a UA-camr named "7 TRUMPETS PREPPER". He is a white man by the way.
In listening to these histories I see the patterns of oppression within Patriarchy. Some of the methods used to oppress black slaves by Patriarchy, men have also used on women - the first conspiracy was against women. Education: Women have been deprived of education - it was closed to them as far as medical schools & Ivy League Schools - Ivy League schools only allowed female admission in 1976. When they want to control a person, they want them disempowered, ignorant, without knowledge. Knowledge, education, is empowerment. Patriarchs want to hold people down, control & exploit them. They have done this to women as well as slaves. There's plenty more to say about this. The poor slaves, by being ignorant, could be lied to & frightened & controlled. It was the same thing in the Medieval days with the bible. The Catholic Church wanted to control the masses, the common folk, so it was punishable by death to translate the bible into English or any other local language. William Tyndale did translate & publish it & he was strangled & burned at the stake for it by the Catholic Church. Reading the bible can be empowering, except the parts against women - throw all that into the circular file.
Wow!!!!!!!
If you spent hundreds of dollars for a slave wouldn't you keep it in good health instead of whipping them so they can't work for months?
Not an it, but a who. Slaves were people. Dont assume by my name you know my gender not race.
@@terrionsmith1389 Excellent response Terrion. Folks so conditioned in there I'll fated treatment of people, she didn't even realize she spoke of a human being as though he was cattle.
@@pamelastallworth310 Of course, she realized it. People choose to hate.
I wanna explain something to you. To beat somebody into submission. That’s what they were doing. It’s called Munchhausen syndrome. They beat them and Provide them with no food will make them docile. You do that over a few years in a human being will do whatever you say. I don’t care what color you wear. You’re really a fucking asshole
@@lisamcandrews8594 I just looked up the disorder you mentioned. People with this disorder act as if they are sick when they might not be. They may harm themselves. I do not think that disorder has anything to do with beating another person.
Reparation is not enough. We need something else.
We do know, this will continue, why, we live in the fallen world, and until certain things take place, these debauchery incidents 'will' continue, believe it.No way around this, this world is doomed!!
We're already is a sophisticated system of slavery. All of us in this elite ruled world. Not as harsh, but slavery still. Still causing premature death. I'm black and I recognize this.
Wow what a story
how could anyone claiming. to be Christian hold slaves. this is shamful god bless them please forgive.
Lillie Farris Christianity is wht they used and also forced our ancestors to practice ths is y u have blks tht refuse to claim Christianity. We were Muslim's.... They fucced us up Fr.
Read your bible. Gods laws condoned and regulated slavery
Lillie Farris the Bible was a tool used to keep the slaves docile and passive, while the “Christian” masters treated them less than human-( it’s truly sickening!
OMG cool
Deep ❤❤
How the fuck any human could treat other humans like this is beyond me! I'm thankful that my nation never had slavery on it's shores and sought to defeat slavery where ever it was found.
Where are you from?
Sounds like your people have always had their heads on straight! Must feel good to come from such love and competence! 💜
Let's just say I would not have been made a good and obedient slave. I don't have that nice gens.
When your back got split wide open and salt pushed into the wounds you'd do as they did if you wanted to survive!!! Modern day people don't known that kind of insanity being done to them feels like!!!
It has nothing to do with having a nice gene. If you had a black gene, you would have suffered every single day. Sitting in front a computer typing words in response to a UA-cam video is vastly different than being a slave on a plantation. These people were beaten, hung, branded, and tortured. Do you REALLY think they were just sitting around saying we are going to sit back and be good little people for the people who owned them? Nope. That is not the way it was.
Michelle exactly! Kills me when people today say “ I would not of been... type of slave!” As if there was a choice back then!-(
N S I would rather die than be slave for white plp . I would kill myself but I would take the slave owner , his wife and kids with me .
Frederick Douglass?? Any fond readers of him?
This is disturbing to hear and horrific that our supposedly God-fearing nation and the entire world endorsed this behavior and mentality, and it was legal. At the beginning of time, God created us to have dominion over animals, birds and fish but NEVER over man. This is UNGODLY. May the injustices my ancestors endured be reckoned in the generations to come.
Amen!
This kind of pisses me off... he kept getting caught and never had a plan!!! Bring food before you leave so you can keep your tail in your hiding spot. My God...
It is ashame that the people of today wishes for slaves would be legal to day.. these same people do not know that the people who died wish they could be able to tell them of the treatment that they are receiving now., but what the Bible say about this news : you SHOULD listen to the Bible s teachers 👨🏫 that are trying to tell the world , and that is to : love ❤️ your neighbors as your self., and to do to others as you would have them do unto you .please my brothers and sister , please LISTEN! Before it is too LATE!
And the Bible was written by white man and was used to capture Africans that they made into slaves so those words you read in the Bible turn the other cheek was all forms of control I could go on about the Bible but I will stop for now

He seems to have been a man of considerable intelligence and capacity - and what is called a "quick study".
I like the content but I think this story is not the nbest for the narrator.
