Excerpt from Narrative of Events in the Life of William Green, Formerly a Slave Mr. Hamilton was one of those quiet, peaceable kind of people, who mind their own' business, and let other people's alone. He was a widower with six children, and a better set of children for slave-holder's children, I seldom or never knew; they were kind and not abusive to the servants; I never knew one of them to strike a servant in anger in my life. Mr. H. Was a rich man, and had eight or nine plan tations, each of which covered from four to five hundred acres, and every one of these was well stocked With slaves. But I must admit that Mr. Hamilton was a'bumane man to be a slave-holder; he was strict, but generally kind to his servants; yes, I must say very kind to them in the way of feeding and clothing them. But that was not a fair remu neration for labor; we wanted our liberty, (oi at least I did, and what is more I made a move and got itt) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Fugitive Slaves (1619-1865) is a historical record of legal cases tried against escaped slaves across the United States of America. The author, Marion McDougall, has drawn together and compared many cases found in obscure sources and made an effort to use the cases as illustrations of principles of how the legislature worked in certain places and certain eras. Her aim was, in some measure, to trace the development of public sentiment upon the subject, in order to prepare an outline of Colonial legislation and of the work of Congress during the covered period.
