The Wilmington Tea Party By: Sophia Hildebrand January 5‚ 1774 I have just received a letter from my cousin Cecille‚ who lives in Boston‚ Massachusetts.

“That accursed and crawling snake‚ that miserable reptile that has just glided into its slimy home‚ is freer and better off than I. Here am I a man‚ yes a man! Yet he is my superior‚ and scorns to own me as his master” (Douglass 177). The Heroic Slave is a fictional novel written by Frederick Douglass loosely based on actual people and events. It depicts actions that took place during the 1841 hijacking of the Creole by the 135 slaves on board and focuses on the life of Madison Washington. I

The starry night sky filled with twinkling lights is absolutely breathtaking.
