Why Does Northup Fight Against Slavery?

While working in Epps plantation, as a driver of assisting the white's masters, Northup believes he's done his job well and precise. Until one day, Epps hires a poor white man named Armsby to work in the fields, with the fellow slaves. Northup one morning, asks Armsby to deliver a letter, astonished Armsby accepts in regards to payment. Unfortunately, Armsby betrays Northup's plan back to Epps, causing Master Epps to get furious with Northup and eventually plans to kill him. But in the end, the slaves, team up and convince the master that Armsby is a liar, making Armsby want to kill Northup himself. Towards the end of chapter 16, Northup realizes he can't trust anybody, much less an American. Since that day Northup has been cautious with
During his time of depression, he's introduced to an older black man Lew Cheney, who fought against slavery since the beginning. In spite of Cheney past, he tells Northup to continue trying although he may get whipped, to Northup beating doesn't matter. Because many years ago, Lew Cheney escaped and told everyone how slavery was. After being rewarded with gratitude and affection, Cheney knew that slavery wasn't a life for anyone, no matter their skin color. I couldn't agree more with Lew Cheney statement, although he was beaten to death for telling everyone, no one could take those images off his mind. This revolting statement can mean a lot to people, no matter their situation. It means, to never give up on your dreams, and many slaves' dreams, is to see their family once again. If they can't manage to escape, then they can always pray to escape mentally. Unlike Justice in the country, God will permit you to see your family once more, because in the eyes of slave owners many don't believe in God
At one point, a white man named Mr. O'Neil offers to buy Northup from Epps, Northup comments to the others that being sold O'Neil wouldn't be the worse. Unfortunately, Mistress Epps occasionally overhears him and tells her husband right away, causing Northup to be paddled to death. Days passed from that unfaithful day, while Northup was working on the farm, he heard Master Epps call out for Patsy, but Patsy was nowhere in sight. It turns out she was seen coming from the direction Shaw's plantation. When Epps finally got a hold of her, he started raging with anger. Throwing her from side to side and beating her occasionally. Finally, when all was over, he called Northup outside and told him it was his turn to beat her. Epps ordered Northup to lash her as many times as needed, till the lash broke off, unwilling to help Northup had no other choice. He described it as a "brutal and horrendous" for a slave to be slashing another slave in front of a group of white men. It was truly a horrifying sight. Just like Master Epps, enjoys the pain of slaves, so does his oldest son, a boy about 10 or 12 years old. Every morning he will ride his horse through the fields, with a whip in his hand and beat the slaves just for the fun of it. While his father laughs from a distance, cheering on his son. This behavior is an injustice and incorrect thing to
