media type="file" key="Grace p1.mp3" Hello children of Malden High School, I am Amazing Grace. I am a former slave and am requesting your attention. If you don’t give me the attention, you will fail everything. Look at me; I used to have what was considered a normal life. I was a single mother, with a 5 month old child, named Benny who meant more to me than anything in the world. I loved life, and worked hard for what I had. I definitely earned everything I had; hunting in the woods for food, day and night, wasn’t the most pleasant, easiest job. However this led me to own my very own hut. One day just getting home from hunting, I was ambushed and threatened by a fellow African to come with him to a place called Sierra Leone. I grabbed my hungry child Benny, and ran with this man, tears falling down on my face, on to Benny’s hair. Once we got there, we were told to look at the ground I couldn’t help but I cry, I felt the end was near. Pushed onto a huge boat, crammed with other wet, horrified faces, I held tight to Benny. White men, unfamiliar and terrifying went around the boat throwing people down and killing the supposedly sick and weak. As I held my child tight, an angry white man grabbed Benny out of my arms and tossed him overboard. I screamed with sadness and shock, and dropped to the floor, knocked unconscious. When I awoke I was getting off to a new land and auctioned off to my new owners. For days and days I was tortured, working day and night in fields with one unsatisfying meal a day, having no freedom or sympathy at all. The worst part was knowing my innocent child had drowned to his death. Whipped and beating on occasion for being tired or feeling upset, I felt like the ones who didn’t survive were lucky.

So today I am here because children are our future. I believe with your help I can change the minds of the people in the South still continuing with slavery. Slavery is wrong, no doubt. It is time to end it! You can definitely help this cause by protesting against the south! Reach out to your parents, peers and even strangers about the unfairness of slavery. Everyone is created equal! Spread the word, Thank you.

Slavery needs to stop. I am a former slave named ann. worked in the south with me my children and my husband. I worked all day every day nonstop. With so little waster and food. I finally existed .were I escaped was the under ground road. I was just me who left .I have my children .my 2 year old girl who has a deisease.my husband is dieing from old age .there still there and I need you to help me get them back.oh how much I miss my kids. If we all go and fight for the right of freedom I bet I can get them back. Slavery is not at all what you think .you have to work 18 hours everyday .they make my sick girl work. And you don’t get paid at all. I remember one day I was beat so hard my skin started to peel off. My feet have so many blisters on then. If you start to write in the newspaper, tell your friends and go down and stop it need you. Every one of you to get this does stop. Please please im begging you.

I, Smitty Wartsinbuger ManHension CI (101 st ), am going to perform a semisection on all that own slaves. Those who own our human brothers shall be hunted down and brought to justice. I am angry with you slave owners because you treat humans as animals just because of a bockmist reason that they are a different color. You treat them like you treat me as a German. They are human and you treat them inhumane. Does the constitution in this country not apply? The 8 th amendment clearly states that you treat all humane. Today I talk to all the slaves and say stand up for your rights and the north will accept you and will treat you as they treat themselves. They shall treat you with kindness. I thank you all for coming today to listen to me speak. Have a good afternoon.

 * I am….Victoria Sanchez and I am A Abolitionist trying to speak out to the world and telling us people to join us and fight against slavery. Many slaves have been beaten and abused or even killed. Here is one of the women slaves, She’s been beaten and has over 15 scars on her back her legs and even her stomach but the sad thing she’s also 6 months pregnant which makes it hard for her to work or do anything but she try to stay strong so when she has the baby the baby can move on with life and probably escape from this misery but at days she thinks it best to kill the child before its born but killing it may also kill her which wouldn’t be good for our sociality we want white and black people to live long .Guess were all these scars are from there so called “Owners” if a slave doesn’t do the exact thing, the exact way they want it they get a whip. Here’s what one of the whips look like (showing Example) big and super thick one hit with this thing and any part of your body rips wide up causing you to bleed almost to death. Slaves don’t have much too clean there cuts from being infected. Do you want this to go on with this misery of slaves being abuse? “NO” we must stop this madness and free these slaves. If we continue with this you never know later on slaves might turn against us for all the things we did and we will be the one hanging from the tree being whip to death. If I were you I would join the abolitionist cause while I’m helping slaves you will all being the one hanging from the that tree scream mercy and I’m not gunna do anything about because I warned all of you.

 * ** We ** few… we HAPPY few… Shall make those, who hath brought tears upon my people, REPENT! They shall feel the mortifying wrath of We, the Abolitionists. All who hath taken in our fellow man, and treat them as such, shan’t meet with impending damnation. But, those who have enslaved our darkened brethren shall die a thousand BURNING deaths! We will take back the fallen pride of our brothers! Take back the weeping mothers! Take back the children of others! So they will have had the opportunity to have embraced their fathers, and have roamed the land with **jubilance.** Never again will the other children of men wallow in fear of their so-called masters! They shall break free from the constrictions of oppression, and call out to their people. The demonic hell spawn, often called “Mastah” shall meet **//__their__//** master: Satan! Who will unleash upon them, a hellish inferno of all the lost souls of the children, vengeful souls of the fathers, and the scorned spirit of the mothers!!!
 * You **, my brothers, can also help my—sorry—OUR cause! You, too, can assist me in bringing forth the day __we take them back__ . Those retched monsters—those SLAVE MASTERS, have warped, ripped, and distorted the minds of our darker brothers. Don’t you see? They are being abused, reused, then recycled… we can stop this tragedy…We can help those people. We can help **//our//** people. I too, bore witness to the event occurring today. I was a worker: a tool, an item, a slave. They have taken the world from me. And I am going to destroy theirs. It may come to a surprise to you, but I have already laid waste to an entire tobacco production in Alabama. If I, and three others, can do that…imagine what **//we//** can do. By nightfall tomorrow, we commoners will have done what no other commoner ever has ever dreamed of. We will have eliminated an entire production of cotton and freed our people. So that YOU, my people, will have had the satisfaction, of drying the eyes of the weeping children, and give the back the right to liberty and justice for all.

I, George Washington XLV [45] say that slavery shall be no more. I am the 45th generation of the Washington family. Those who have not heard of me is because when George Washington the first died no one cared about the Washington family but, I am here to restore the Washington family and get rid of the discrimination in America. I saw the violence that the slave encountered and I was very anger when I saw the slaveholders treating that way.

We the people should know that slavery is a horrible act in these United States. It is discrimination to the blacks and other nationalities that are not white Americans. We treat them horrible for example whipping them so they bleed to death. We can stop these together and fight slavery so every one can be at peace in America. The way you can stop it is to not be a slaveholder and let the slaves free. -SA

We the people must put an end to slavery or it this will destroy this once great nation. I have seen the tears upon their faces. The scars on their backs, the blood on their feet. The separating between mother and children, brothers and sisters. Husband and wives as well. These tragic events will lead this country to war. Against brother versus brothers, we must put a stop to this before it's too late!

We the peopel must get rid of slavery for good! Thousands of souls are at stake! Taking away a slave's life is like taking away one of our own. We can't just sit back and watch this country destroy itself. We must destroy slavery before it destroys us. Stand with me as we save this nation. You can start by standing up to a slaver's rights to live.

My name is Nicholas J. Fox I would like to stop all slavery. I would like to stop slavery beacause it is not right to have any other man have to work for you. If anyboyd wants to keep slavery I will knock every one of your teeh out. If you don't want to listen to me I will tie you up and torture you I will cut of all of your toe nails all of your finger nails and I will pail little layers of skin off your body. I will only do this if you guys don't stop slavery. If you guys are stubborn and don't listen then you will slowly get beaten till death I will make you suffer.

Slavery is not right why would you want to see another man get tortured. Put yourself in one of the slaves position see how that will make you feel. How would you like to get beaten and forced to do work that you don't want to do or that you are not getting paid for. Would you want to work every day and not even get a pen or any freedom? Do you want to never get to be with some of your family get to see what life is really all about why would you want to makde somebody go through life miserable? Ways that you can help me is to come with meand have war with the south to stop this madness. Spread the word to anybody and everybody you know even send the word to people you don't know that you just see on the street.
