Description
Solomon Northup was born a free man in New York State in 1808. However, his life took a devastating turn when he was kidnapped in Washington, D.C., in 1841. For the next 12 years, he was forced into slavery on a Louisiana cotton plantation. During this period, Solomon endured frequent abuse and lived in constant fear for his life. His experiences as a slave offer a unique insight into the harsh realities of plantation society. This book is Solomon Northup's detailed account of his time as a slave, providing a powerful and thought-provoking look at one of the darkest periods in American history.
