Journal 1
My life as a slave has been short, yesterday I
was on the selling block now I'm waiting on the
mistress. A couple families have been torn
apart but for me i was sold alone because my
mum and dad are gone. My name is John
Smith, I am 16 years of age and hopefully this
journal will be keeping track of my life.
Journal 2
I have been placed in the house instead of the
fields. Thank the lord I'm in the Master and
Mistresses house instead of picking cotton all
day or slaughtering. I'm sketching in the
moon to track the days I've been here some
helpful advice from a fellow slave.
Journal 3
I have no sense of what month it is or of what
day. But through the chatter at the Masters
quarters while giving drinks to Master collages
that there was a "freedom" of all rebel
slaves. Does this mean I'm free.....
Journal 4
[three days later]
Life has changed so much in the past three
days. Master and Mistress Chambers have
been working us slaves very hard.
[later]
Today was my first whipping, until today I
respected the Mistress Chambers. All I did was
shut a window because the breeze was
messing up the bedding. She did it her self
with a bull whip similar to what my father used
in the stories he told me.
Journal 5
It is true the freedom of all "rebel" slaves are
free. I still don't know who are rebeling but it
can't be good if it has Master Chambers so
worried his son James was sent off to fight
some Yankees up in the Northern states.
[later]
There was talk of running away to this place
called Canada were it is all sugar candy on the
ground and sweet water coming from trees.
Journal 6 and 7
there is conspiring in house all the slaves
either wanna fight the compound or run, there
is talk of staying but there would only be
torture to find the runaways.
[7]
Two slaves ran away their names I don't know.
All i saw when i woke up is two fellow slaves
hanging from the tree out front
Journal 8
This will be my last entry in this plantation i
am choosing to runaway through the byou.
they say that if we go through the water that
the dogs will loose our sent. So by the end of
the week I will be free
Journal 9
Good bye Chambers plantation. I hopefully will
be a free man. The only reason I am leaving is
that I have no one my mum and dad are dead
along with my sister Betty
[later]
We are stuck in the swamps hiding under a
tree stuck in the bog. its hard to write all you
can hear is the sound of dogs barking and
people yelling.
Last entry
Journal 10
Last night all of us got caught thanks to the
little snich named Philis a young slave in the
house he thought we were playing a game but
now, we are all going to die.
