Closing
Currently I am free and working not as a slave, getting paid in St. Catherines Canada. I work as a porter. Liza and Julilly soon joined me. I am very overjoyed and happy because I don't have to work as a slave ever again. All my hard work paid off. Mr. Ross is one of my biggest saviours Because I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him. I will always remember him when I am being free and working for money in Canada. Maybe I will see he again when he drops off or rescues some other lucky slaves. But for now, I will enjot what I have and just get used to not being a slave and living in Canada!

About Me
- E.B.
- St. Catherines, Canada
- My name is Lester. I'm a slave worker. I get whipped and chained from the back of a wagon. I'm a very mentally and physically strong. I'm 20 years old and as of now I pick cotton in cotton fields at Massa Riley's plantation as slave worker in Mississippi. A man named Mr. Ross picked me and my friend Adam to go with him and study birds in Mississippi. But instead of studying birds, myself, Adam, Julilly and Liza are going to escape to Canada. But we hope that Mr.Sims won't catch us and then whip us. Now I'm a very happy person in St.Catherines, Canada working and getting paid money. My best friend Adam died of blood poisoning. I hope that my other frineds Liza and Julilly can join me in Canada and we can all work together. Not being slaves. I work as a porter. I'm a very happy person now living free in Canada.
What joy! It brings me to tears! You are a free man! I work hard and it pays to see the few lucky people like you, escape from the cruelty of man kind. Congratulations Lester! Enjoy your new life in Canada, and when in hard times, be thankful that you are free. No one can buy freedom, but you have received it! Farewell my Lester!
ReplyDelete(as slave trader)Why did you and your unpleasant black friends have to escape to Canada? Now, I have a bad name and no more plantation owners want to hire me because they think I will let all their slaves free! You are such a bad, bad person! Now, that you are in Canada I you better enjoy your life because if you ever step foot into the U.S.A I will find you and you will be in a lot of pain!
ReplyDeleteI remember the time I realized you four had left the plantation, and I knew right away you would be the leader and the one who invited Julilly and Liza! So, I really dislike you for that but, I guess I can't do anything about it now so I just hope that your life in Canada is not very amazing and that you don't have a perfect life from now on! That is all...
Lester that is so nice of you to say about Mr.Ross because you are right he risked his life just to save ours and it was a very brave thing to do. So I think the least we can do is write about his bravery. I am happy I am able to be in Canada with you especially with everything we have been through.
