My Journey to Canada
It all started back in Mississippi when Mr. Alexander Ross chose myself and my friend Adam to go and help him study birds. But Mr. Ross wasn't really a bird studier, he was a slave helper. He was going to help me, Adam, Liza and Julilly escape to Canada. It was a long time to get there, all the blood sweat and tears. Going from muddy swamps to deep forests trying to reach the land of freedom. But only one thing was in our way, Mr. Simms, the slave catcher and the owner of the plantation. Myself and Adam got separated from Liza and Julilly, but there were many helpful people to help us on our way. Once we got on the Mayflower boat and crossed lake Erie, we were on free land. But unfortunatly, my best friend Adam died of blood poisoning. I was so happy yet so sad. I have a job as a porter in St. Catherines Canada and I'm a very happy person thanks to Mr. Ross Liza, Julilly, Adam and all the underground railroad workers.

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.
I, Mr.Sims, don't like how you are free in Canada when you should be working for me! I don't even like your life ending. If you ever come into America, I will capture you!
ReplyDelete(as slave trader) Mr.Simms is the only thing in your way? I'm so bad am I? Well, I'm not the one who is BLACK! Ha! You stupid slave! I should have known that you were bad since you were with that sneaky Julilly, man she bugs me!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you were on the Mayflower!! I made my men search everywhere on that ship! I swear I really should fire those searchers, they did a terrible job trying to find you!
I am very glad you had to go through blood, sweat and tears to get to Canada because that meant that it was not easy and it put you through pain! Oh, and your poor friend Adam, what a loss...NOT! I'm so glad at least one of you died on the trip, that makes me feel better. Well, I hope you don't have a good time in Canada. Bye!
Ughh it's you! You and your little peasant black friends who are slaves don't deserve any rights, they should be punished for even attempting an escape from my plantation!
ReplyDeleteOf course I was the only thing left in your way, though you got very lucky with your little Mayflower sneak attack!! Darn you and all your slave escape helpers!!!
