    Daniel L Schafer Analysis

    In Daniel L. Schafer’s book Anna Madgigine Jai Kingsley: African Princess, Florida Slave, Plantation Slaveowner, the life of a somewhat mysterious African born woman is broken down. There were many challenges to writing a biography on a woman who did not write any letters nor kept a diary on the events of her life. This and the fact that she was an African slave in the beginning of her life over in Florida made writing such a biography all the more challenging. I feel that Schafer has succeeded in providing an organized and descriptive piece on a historical figure whose background has very much been shrouded in mystery and uncertainty. The book stays true to the thesis and keeps Anna Madgigine Jai at the center of every topic.…

    Harriet Tubman

    Araminta Ross was born as the sixth of eleven children in the Ross family (Schraff 14). Her parents, Harriet and Benjamin Ross, lived on separate plantations for many years (americancivilwar.com). Their slave owners, the Brodas, had nine children that the Ross family was obligated to take care of (Schraff 15). Until Araminta was about five years old, she experienced all of the childhood that she would ever know (Schraff 15). This “childhood” included sleeping on a straw mat and playing in the forest with different animals (Schraff 15). Once Araminta Ross was about five or six years old, she became a household servant (pbs.org). At age six, she was sold to James Cook where she was chosen to be the slave that wound the yarn (Schraff 16). This job, along with the living conditions at the Cooks’ house, made young Araminta sneeze and become ill (Schraff 16). She was forced to sleep on the kitchen floor and eat table scraps like a family dog (Schraff 16). Later that same year, Araminta was sent back to the Brodas’ plantation very unhealthy (Schraff 17). Quickly, her mother, Harriet, nursed her back to health (Schraff 17). At about seven years old, Araminta…
