Letters of an Ex-Slave Freedom is a very loose term which is interpreted differently by people of diverse heritage and culture. In the 1800’s and earlier it was believed by some that it was their "freedom" to be able to buy and sell fellow mankind on an open market‚ to be used as property for the betterment of the slaveholder’s own fortune.
