Review # 1 was written on 2019-08-30 00:00:00 Matthew Harrington I enjoyed this book even with the dirty looks of others thinking it was a "sex book". I read it while I worked on a television show during break times. It is a sad, honest, cruel look at the lives of slaves. I have a basic understanding of what happened but had no idea just how brutal and misunderstood they were. Animals were better treated. Despite all the beatings, starvation and imprisonment, their faith in God was strong. The abuse and mistreatment continued as families did. Children and/or parents would die off leaving the next generation to suffer. An important, short look into these Amercians lives. Emancipation indeed.
