Description and Table of Contents
Description
Moving testaments to the struggle for freedom The autobiographies of former slaves contributed powerfully to the abolitionist movement in the United States, fanning national - and international - indignation against the evils of slavery. The four texts gathered here are all from North Carolina slaves and are among the most memorable and influential slave narratives published in the nineteenth century. The writings of Moses Roper, Lunsford Lane, Moses Grandy, and the Reverend Thomas H. Jones provide a moving testament to the struggles of enslaved people to affirm their human dignity and ultimately seize their liberty. Introductions to each narrative provide biographical and historical information as well as explanatory notes.
