As much land as they can handle

Carried Thence for Trafficke of the West Indies Five Hundred Negroes

They That Are Born There Talk Good English

Fire, Fire, Scorch, Scorch

A Quaker Abolitionist Travels Through Maryland and Virginia

Is It Not Enough that We Are Torn From Our Country and Friends?

To Redeem My Family

White Slaveowners Fear that the Haitian Revolution Has Arrived

It Was a Mournful Scene Indeed

In the Richmond Slave Market

T’was My Object to Carry Terror and Devastation Wherever We Went

The Happiest Laboring Class in the World

Time Did Not Reconcile Me To My Chains

I Subscribe Myself a Friend to the Oppressed

We Was Jus’ Turned Out Like a Lot of Cattle

John P. Parker, Conductor, on the Underground Railroad

Dressmaker and Former Slave Elizabeth
