Carol's Diary

Category: History_Fairy_Tales

(0) May 14, 1861 Dear Diary, BAM! I can almost hear the gunshots of the war! A war for freedom of slaves will begin. I hope this will all end with freedom for Mama, Papa, little four year old Elizabeth, and me. I am forced to work as a slave on "Master" Hutchings' farm, and have been for ten years, ever since I was six years old. The couple I work for....I do not wish to call them "Master" and "Mistress" once more. If I am freed, the only person I will miss if I go away is Emma, the daughter of my mistress. She taught me how to read. SHE taught me how to write. SHE taught me that I am a unique person and I deserve better than what I am doing! If this war is not over soon (I am getting really impatient), I will run away to Canada. That is where freedom lies. Emma is my best friend, she knows what I plan to do. She is disgusted with what her parents are doing and wants to run away with me. But I have heard of someone who ran away. He was caught and beaten. I am so scared. When will freedom come?

At the moment we are crossing the Seven Seas on the little boat we made out of wood and timber, but Emma thinks that it can't hold all of us for any longer, and I think she is right. What are we going to do? (Ashley age 13, Age 13 to 18, 8/3/2008 12:39:27 PM, CarolsDiary)
