She had never had a slave under her control previously to myself, and prior to her marriage she had been dependent upon her own industry for a living. She was by trade a weaver; and by constant application to her business, she had been in a good degree preserved from the blighting and dehumanizing effects of slavery. I was utterly astonished at her goodness. I .... Available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075VJWN3Z?binding=kindle_edition&ref=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_pc_tukn

What have I, or those I represent, to do with your national independence? Are the great principles of political freedom and of natural justice, embodied in that Declaration of Independence, extended to us? and am I, therefore, called upon to bring our humble offering to the national altar, and to confess the benefits, and express devout gratitude for the blessings, resulting from your independence to us?

I was not old enough to work in the field, and there being little else than field work to do, I had a great deal of leisure time. The most I had to do was to drive up the cows at evening, keep the fowls out of the garden,...READ MORE: https://searchblackandeducation.com/stories/2019/11/7/chapter-5-narrative-of-the-life-of-frederick-douglass On Amazon BOOKS FOR SALE: https://www.amazon.com/Danita-Smith/e/B01BT7U138/ref=dp_byline_cont_ebooks_1 Help support this podcast and future books, by donating or purchasing one of my books above.  THANK YOU!

Why his career was so short, I do not know, but suppose he lacked the necessary severity to suit Colonel Lloyd. Mr. Hopkins was succeeded by Mr. Austin Gore, a man possessing, in an eminent degree, all those traits of character indispensable to what is called a first-rate overseer. Mr. Gore had served Colonel Lloyd, in the capacity of overseer, upon one of the out-farms, and had shown himself worthy of the high station of overseer upon the home or Great House Farm.
