Before the end of the civil war, over one hundred former slaves had written moving stories of their captivity and by 1944, when George washington Carver published his autobiography, over six thousand ex-slaves ahd written what caalled slave narratives. No group of slaves anywhere, in any other ear, has left such prolific testimony to the horror of bondage and servitude.
Frederick Douglass's account is searing. The plantation owners create a system of unremitting torture and terror. Slaves are whipped for no reason, forced to work every moment of the day, and are always hungry for lack of food. Douglass rebels, and, impossibly, survives.
Powerful slave narratives, recalling the abuse and mistreatment of slavery. If a reader can get past the repitious form of the narrative, there are poignant stories to be told. Recent revelations regarding the authenticity of the stories though, especially "Narrative of a Slave Girl" casts some doubt on the work. ( )
