Slave Days June 16th, 1863 Today my master got to the point where he almost beat me. I know he wasn't intending to because my master is a good man. What I do know is that his drunkenness takes him over and transforms him into a mean and nasty monster. He made me work longer in the fields. Usually, he let's me take breaks and sometimes even lets me keep a very small portion of his crops so I may be able to feed my family. I have two children, Zadie and Marcie Mcepherson. They are the most important things in my #life and am willing to do anything to keep them alive and well. Only one the constantly is in the back of my mind: war. Zadie is close to the age where you are forced to go in... I just hope the war ends before he has to..
