Twelve Years A Slave
Solomon Northup
22 Chapters
Chapter 1. Solomon describes his life as a free man, in a free state in which he were born and free for thirty years, married with children, telling the time he spends with his family and making a living through his many trades, including farming, lumberjack, and mostly performing on the violin.
Chapter 2. Solomon had been asked with pay, to play his violin for the circus with a pay of four dollars a day. Without speaking to his wife first about it, he agrees. He then has a few drinks with his so-called friends in which he is drugged with the help of two slaves. He then awakens to find himself chained to the floor.
Chapter 3. Reading how much some people could hate a black woman so much for what she is, is crazy. Words can’t explain it. Why in the hell would you even have a slave if all you’re going to do is hate them for who they are. Eliza is dead and placed to rest. I bet Mrs. Berry is happy.
Chapter 4. Life sucks. Solomon is moved from Washington to Virginia, heading towards New Orleans on board a massive vessel, full of tobacco. On his way he meets a number of slave men and women, and makes a note on their similarities and differences.
Chapter 5. Boat ride for a once in a lifetime experience, which actually still happens today coming from overseas. You got to know that anybody pined to a slave boat will have the idea of taking it over, but you also have to know that many different people aboard a slow moving vessel and getting sea sick, spreading diseases like small pox would be just a matter of time, and having to throw you friend overboard dead and wrapped up… what do you say to that?.
Chapter 6. Mr. Theophilus Freeman, a demon must have been in this man as he seemed fit to kick the older slaves when he deemed fit and whipped the younger slaves. He must have been sick in the head. It’s bothering to know that buying and selling slaves and splitting of their kids to different slave traders
