Twelve Years a Slave, a novel written by the one who experienced the slavery between White and Black Americans, the author himself, Mr. Solomon Northup. Mr. Solomon Northup came from Saratoga, New York. His slavery started year 1841. After his capture, he was treated as a runaway nigger. Nigger was the term they used when calling Black Americans and treat them as their own property, so called “Slaves”.
His twelve years of bondage proved how Black Americans were treated during pre-Civil War and I think, in post-Civil War too. How they can buy Black Americans to be their SLAVES. They really treat Niggers as their own property and do what they want to do. I never expected that the White Americans can do such thing. …show more content…
He wanted to reach people who read his book. I felt the feeling of reminiscence. I really wanted to see it but I know I can’t. He also, was very eager to wake all American citizens to see the reality of life or to see what’s really happening in the political issues over slavery. His book was one of the best books to show how White Americans kidnap and torture their so called “property” especially those freemen Niggers like Mr. Solomon Northup and sell them into Slavery. And I think, his point was always to compare what he saw and experienced to what he already knew as a freeman. And also, for us to see how and what kind of discrimination or racism happened in the American’s Civil War
