Twelve Years a Slave - by Solomon Northup (Paperback)

Solomon Northup, a free black man living in New York in 1841, was kidnapped and sold into slavery, where he spent twelve years on a Louisiana plantation.

Through his vivid and detailed descriptions, Northup provides a glimpse into the brutal and inhumane world of slavery, and the dehumanizing effects it had on both slaves and slave owners.

Despite the incredible hardships he faced, Northup never lost hope or his desire for freedom, and his story is a testament to the resilience and strength of the human spirit.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, slavery, or the struggle for freedom and equality.
