media type="file" key="christina paul.mp3" How would it feel to wake up every morning and have to listen to someone's commands? How would it feel to be away from your children or have to watch your children work all day and grow up to have no future? This is what I went through, I am Christina Paul and I am a runaway slave. I lived in the horrors of slavery for many years. I watched my mother, father and my own children go through this pain and I can truly say there is nothing right about slavery.

As a runaway slave I must stay in the north while my family is left behind still enduring the pain and evil which is slavery. This is why I am an abolitionist but just myself and other abolitionists can't help slaves and stop slavery all together, we need you people of the north. I myself cannot return to the south but, you people can go help runaway slaves help torn families help children escape and become free just as god meant for all people of earth to be. There is many things to do to help stop slavery, besides help with the Underground Railroad, educate yourself, teach others spread the word get people involved. I believe every person can stop slavery every voice is on step near our goal. Go to the north for yourself and you will see the life men and women and children live. There are no smiles no young children playing like children will be just like Angelina Grimke said there are no happy slaves. I was no happy slave.

So help fight and join the abolitionist cause for freedom for all slaves of the south should be free like the north. There is nothing "right" about slavery so we must spread the word help the underground railroad become an engineer and let's demolish slavery!!

My fellow friends/abolitionist this has gone on to long and shall be stopped. For to long this poor souls continuously working for nothing more than a small shack and barely any food to survive. They call them animals and slaves and worthless yet those animals raise there children and clean there homes, you wouldn't let the family dog raise your children so let them be free, free to do what they want. In our constitution we state that our country is FREE and yet we take that away from African Americans if they want to work on farms let them but let them stop when they want to and go home when they want to do not let them live these lives any longer. They are fellow Americans and so the constitution shall be applied to them to let them be FREE!

How would you feel to live with no freedom? Or even worse not having a "normal" childhood? As for me I experienced this first hand. Growing up working on the field with my mother was the worst possible thing you could only imagine. But the worst feeling was the night I escaped, this terrible place. My mother wasn't able to escape with the rest, so instead of going she sent me instead for a better life.

So how do you feel about tearing children away from their parents and having them grow up without? If you feel the same way as I do, you would help to end this. There are a couple of ways you can help. maybe start telling your friends and family about how bad it really is. Another way this could end is if people write convincing letters to government and try to show them how many people are suffering. Then maybe this could be finally stopped.

I'm Kiet Luong let's end slavery. Slavery is bad and it must end. I got whipped and many people died because of starvation. We should kill them for doing this to us. I am a slave that escape from the underground railroad. We should start an abolition movement. I have scars on my back and you can see how skinny I am. I haven't eaten any meat. We worked for days without eaten and we bearly weight like 90 pounds. They should at least pay us so we can appreciate them. Every men and women were not treated equally. But now we can all be treated equal if you help me and I'll help you. For 30 years I been poor and uneducated. I don't want the terrist to keep happening or else were all going to suffer and many will be on our way to death. So lets make our life better not just for me its for all of us its our religion. They can't just treat us like slaves. Now for the heck of it were ending it.

Let's end slavery! Slavery is bad because, they have to fight to survive. I'm a slave that escaped on the underground railroad. The underground railroad is a network of people who helped enslave people escape to the north. They hurt us, they beat us. Look at me I'm skinny because of the lack of food and have scars on my body because of all of the torture we were put through. And many of my mates died from the pain and torture they went through. But I was lucky that I survived this terrifying experience. I seen my mates get there eyeballs taking out and thats all I heard was their scream from the end of the hallway. They shaved your head bald even women and never let us do anything fun or spend time with out families. Slavery needs to stop.

You could help by joining the underground railroad. Telling the president to stop slavery forever! And because every human being should be treated equally. And also fairly like slave owners and their families.

I'm here to stop such a painful experience. My name is Eli Joesco I was a former slave. I was beater I had no food I work non stop all hours of the week. I slept for a combined 3 hours and 30 minutes each week. I got two apples each Sunday I worked through winter the worst day I was separated from my daughter it was worst than all the whuppings I got my heart was ripped out and stomp on. I ask for the help from all you former slaves and you abolitionist I ask your hand to help all slaves and to help my family.

-HT-

Don't you realize how bad slavery really is? Have you personally witnessed the cruelty and undignifying manifestations of slavery? My mother was a slave and was beaten to death by the slave owner and I was stoned and they cut off my left arm for not obeying them. So I stand here pleading to stop slavery.

I have nothing to promise but complete satisfaction of ending slavery and helping families and other slaves like me. Spread the word that Samuel Black asked you to help. Please help my avenge my mother and other slaves who were killed.

-SP-

Slavery is horrible. Slavery separates people's family and that isn't right. How can you separate a mother and daughter? That's wrong, slavery takes away human rights. Slaves live in horrible conditions. I want slavery to be put to an end. Slavery ruins the lives of slaves, I have seen what happens to slaves and I don't like it. I don't want to see any more people suffer. Please join me in our fight to end slavery!

-AG-

If you don't listen to me, Chuck Norris will find you and beat the #$^$%& out of you. Slavery is bad seriously dude, don't do it. It's not cool. My name is Prince Bapalapashapalapadingdongtingtingwallwallabingbang. I'm a former slave. I have escaped 24 times and counting. You can't imagine what they did to me and my family. They raped me 7 times per day, they killed my mother, stabbed my father, tortured my sister, cut my brother so bad that he wished that they hadn't cut him so bad. They verbally and mentall abused and raped me. I'm on the verge of killing myself. Don't push me because I'm close to the edge. Please let's kill the jerks.

Tell me why I almost died. People up here in the north aren't that directly affected by slavery. Well we been through it firsthand. How would you feel if you had your freedom taken away? To be some sort of captive by someone who should be equal. This needs to stop because treating human beings like monkeys obviously its wrong. I've had my hope ripped away from me over and over again, I've felt so low I've wanted to die.

So obviously when I came to the north my life changed for the better. Imagine the feeling thousands of slaves...

-SM-

I have a dream, that all slaves will be free. And my experience as a run away slave will help this come true.

Slaves are misunderstood and beaten cruelly. We are forced to reproduce due to the law passed that we can no longer get slaves. Slave owners only give enough food to live off. Everything experienced there was cruel.

I need everyone to help get rid of slavery. We can send letters to the government about this. Also going down there and fighting slaveowners to free slaves would help. Anything to do to help should be done!

-RA-

They were crying. Did you hearing. If you didn't end of slavery. The war is coming soon. Do you want to a peace life, friendly life. All people are born from their parents so we have the same rights.

They didn't have rights for liberty, property...they have many limit. Their life without hope because they don't have rights. The end of slavery give a same right as you are. Do you remember. Nat Turner, he was the deadliest slave revolt in America history. They kill many white people to prove they are angry. Slaves could become rebellion to create the war. The end of slavery better to you, better to them.

I'm Tim who was forgotten when I was about running out of slave by railroad with my parents. At last, before security caught them they sent me to who escaped successed and I got to Northern. I was so lonely and scary when no one beside me expected the one took me here. At that time, I swore I'll back to south to looking for my lost parents and find the way to end the slavery.

Time gone through I became an adult and I'm also not forgot the "swear" I made up. First I thought of the speech and I started.

-PU-

What do you think about when you live with no freedom? It was Jimmy's speech. I was the person wanted to sto slavery And I also had many reason to stop slavery.

My kids shouldn't be slavery. They need to learn education and eat their own food, they can't live with starving around them. And my wife and me need to live in freedom to raise my family. And you can help me out by stop slavery.

Hi my name is Joe. I want these slaves off these cotton fields and some day get the rights all humans deserve. I think that humans should treated equally and deserve certain rights. And all men are created equal I absolutley expect that slaves will be treated equally. Even though they are a different color skin and are different then us but they give are human and really are just like us and deserve respect and equalness. Us forcing them to be slaves is miserable for them and not right.

-JR-

H my name is Christopher. I want slaves in the south to be free because all men and women are created equal. Slave are mistreat and shouldn't be force to work. It's unfair that only color people are slave. If you want to get rid of slavery you can join the abolition movement.

-JZ-

Hello ladies and its, this is your former slave Frederick Jenson. I'm announcing my thoughts about why slavery is very bad. What would slave owners do if they were slaves. I don't think that their should be slaves because they deserve the same freedom that slave owners, citizens, etc
