Read the excerpt from Twelve Years a Slave Chapter 9: "Oh! how heavily the welght of slavery pressed upon me then. I must toll day after day, endure abuse and
taunts and scoffs, sleep on the hard ground, live on the coarsest fare, and not only this, but live the slave of a
blood-seeking wretch, of whom I must stand henceforth in continued fear and dread. Why had I not dled in
my young years-before God had given me children to love and live for? What unhappiness and suffering and
sorrow it would have prevented. I sighed for liberty; but the bondman's chain was round me, and could not be
shaken off. I could only gaze wistfully towards the North, and think of the thousands of miles that stretched
between me and the soil of freedom, over which a black freeman may not pass."
