Beskrivelse af The Life Of John Thompson, A Fugitive Slave
The Life of John Thompson, A Fugitive Slave is a memoir written by John Thompson himself, detailing his experiences as a slave for 25 years and his eventual escape to freedom. Thompson was born into slavery in Maryland in the early 19th century and was sold to various masters throughout his life. He endured physical and emotional abuse, including being whipped and forced to work long hours in harsh conditions. Despite the challenges he faced, Thompson never lost hope and continued to dream of freedom. He eventually escaped to Canada with the help of the Underground Railroad, a network of abolitionists who assisted slaves in their escape to freedom. In his memoir, Thompson describes his journey to freedom and the people who helped him along the way. He also shares his thoughts on slavery and the injustices he witnessed during his time in bondage. Overall, The Life of John Thompson, A Fugitive Slave is a powerful and inspiring story of one man's resilience in the face of oppression and his determination to live a life of freedom.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
