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.
