Summary

As time goes on African Americans are getting smart. African Americans decide that they don't want to be kept in bondage and that they have to escape to freedom.  African Americans either run away, and some they sneak away, well if you think about all African Americans sneak away, no matter what they do. What can the congress and the Americans do about all these sneaky migrated? Does the government see that African Americans are leaving? What does the Americans have to say about their slaves leaving them. I wonder if Americans just look for other slaves to take on the position of pervious slaves that have left them, for nothing else but freedom.

 One thing that I like is that when African Americans have escaped to another state, they don't hide. When I say don't hide I mean that they don't just go away and not be known for something. When slaves migrate to freedom they fulfill their dreams and let people know that just because they are black, it doesn't have anything to do with their capabilities to work and earn a living like the Americans. Some take on jobs that will supply them with a better wage. Some African Americans even take on the roll of being in the political field. Doing something that has to do with politicians is some that is important and is very major for the African Americans. I say this because Americans didn't want African Americans to take office and the pity thing is that they didn't want them to even vote. People also went back to spread the idea that slavery isn't something that should be done, and that people should abolish it. Many African Americans preached and protested on the crisis of slavery. 

   African American women had a job of just taking care of the children and the house. Women couldn't take part in any political activities, and that was because the rules of decorum, like was not easy for women, and many didn't get to work if they had to support their families until the industrial revolution had evolved and there were factories that women had to work in. 

Quote 
" I had been with my young mistress about three years when I married Henry Clark in 1859, I fix the date by knowing it was about two years before the late war broke out. My master performed the marriage ceremony, he did not give me or my husband papers to show for or marriage, but gave us a good treat for all the slaves on the plantation".
( Kelley & Lewis, 244)
Reaction

What throws me off about this quote is that, he master married the couple. That's the craziest I have ever heard in my life. I can't believe that, because I thought masters would hate their slaves so much that they would turn the couple down, but it turns out that's not the case. From this quote I know that I have held this stereotype that slaveholders wouldn't do a thing for the slaves, but it could be true that they would. I would like to know why the slaveholder didn't provide the slaves with papers to show that they are married. I wonder if it's because they could be split up or if the master just really didn't want to give it to then. I know that this slave master was a good person and now i know that anytime I hear slave master I can't think in a negative way; but to always think positive, because you never know who someone is. You can't judge a book by it's cover.
