12 Years A Slave: A True Story

“12 Years a Slave,” written by Solomon Northup and first published in 1853, is a poignant and powerful memoir that chronicles Northup’s harrowing experience as a free African American who was kidnapped and sold into slavery in the antebellum United States. Set against the backdrop of the Southern plantations, Northup’s narrative provides a raw and unflinching account of the brutality, dehumanization, and injustice that he and countless others endured during this dark chapter in American history. The memoir not only serves as a historical document but also as a searing indictment of the institution of slavery and a testament to the strength of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable adversity. --- Product Features --- Weight: 0.2, kg Written_By: Solomon, Northup Publisher: Fingerprint!, Pub Book Type: Non, fiction Categories: Auto/Biography, &, Memoir Best For: Interested, in, American, history|particularly, the, history, of, slavery, and, the, antebellum, South Ages: 16+ Binding: Paperback Edition: 7, May, 2017 Isbn: 978-8175994478 Language: English Pages: 256 Printing Remarks: Imported Dimension: 20.3, x, 25.4, x, 4.7, cm Total Pages: 256
