Sarah Ashley - Voices Unveiled: American Slave Narratives

Sad what our ancestors went through, in the land of the free...

She made it through to freedom. Her descendants may know she endured.

I just wanted to say you did a wonderful job expressing the slave narrative.

if you ever want to hear some stories like this see the book "The Refugee: or the Narratives of Fugitive Slaves in Canada." these are personal accounts/interviews of many brothers and sisters in Canada who just escaped into ontario. they also interviewed my ggg in this book as well. you will even find a never heard before interview done of Harriet Tubman when she was in ontario. a interview out her mouth her self by Harriet Tubman: I grew up like a neglected weed,--ignorant of liberty, having no experience of it. Then I was not happy or contented: every time I saw a white man I was afraid of being carried away. I had two sisters carried away in a chain-gang,--one of them left two children. We were always uneasy. Now I've been free, I know what a dreadful condition slavery is. I have seen hundreds of escaped slaves, but I never saw one who was willing to go back and be a slave. I have no opportunity to see my friends in my native land. We would rather stay in our native land, if we could be as free there as we are here. I think slavery is the next thing to hell. If a person would send another into bondage, he would, it appears to me, be bad enough to send him into hell, if he could.

They made a fortune off of these people…but what did it profit those men to gain the world and lose their soul

I truly believe all of these Masters are truly getting what they deserve right now and for the rest of eternity!

This is how black people were raised in the United States.

So sad

I’m an Ashley and I would love to know if I’m related to her ♥️

I’m not saying all while people are racist. Because I know that not to be true.

I have the utmost respect for this woman's goodness and humanity. And now we all know the truth. The cat's out of the bag. I believe her relatives will lead us to higher ground.

THESE WERE TRUE ISRAELITES
