Slavery goes back to the very beginning of time. Egypt was built on slavery. Rome was built on slavery. Soviet Union was built by slavery. England was built with slavery. EVERY NATION WAS BUILT ON THE BLOOD SWEAT TEARS AND EVEN DEATH OF POOR PEOPLE AND UNEDUCATED PEOPLE.
ALL THEY WANTED TO DO WAS LIVE RACER FAMILIES HAVE A NICE HOME ENJOY THE FRIENDS AND FAMILY NO DIFFERENT THAN TODAY. PEOPLE FORGET THAT MANKIND IS AN ANIMAL. WE ARE MAMMALS. WE ARE AT THE TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN. MANKIND IS THE ONLY LIVING THING THAT HAS A CONSCIOUSNESS OF CHOICE. WE ARE ABLE TO THINK THROUGH OUR NEXT STEP OF SURVIVAL. SLAVERY HAS NEVER BEEN RIGHT IT'S JUST HISTORY AND IT'S VERY VERY VERY SAD.

The thought of any person who has children being able to separate a slave from his or her children and then live with themselves is to me incomprehensible. It's all I can do to even listen to the parts in this narrative which talk about it. Sometimes I just skipped ahead a minute or two rather than even listen and have to contemplate how the parent suffered. It's hard to imagine these things happening not so long ago.

This is why I am an atheist. For all the horrors of the history of man, for all the injustice and brutality, for all the innocence lost and destroyed, for all the wars fought to subjugate fellow humans, for the cruelty against wildlife, the destruction of our planet for greed. there is no god. There is only THIS and we as intelligent beings have failed miserably on all points.

My goodness, exactly HOW MANY DOCUMENTS did it take to FREE Solomon Northup from SLAVERY! No wonder it took such a LONG TIME for those authorities to GO GET him. Thank God Almighty that he finally was FREED! But just IMAGINE all of those KIDNAPPED African American who NEVER made it out of BONDAGE! Black people today don't REALIZE how TRULY BLESSED we are!

My issue is after the Civil War Reconstrution when the newly free men were not allowed to keep their land, and were terrorized constantly. Many of the atrocities were state sacntioned and the Federal government did nothing. Most of the land went back to the very same rebels that fought against the Union.

I wanted to compliment the narrator. The English accent really conveyed the proper Grammer that was then real English. This history really shows how far we have sank from using words appropriately. A free'd slave spoke better and proper English than most people I know today.

Read this book in 3 days before and now I'm listening to it.
As a mother, my heart aches for eliza
As a human being, I deeply hurt for every single slave who had to live a life of pure hell

No animal can be as devilish as an inhuman, listening to this story is so painful for me. Sometimes I think I am listening to a tale about prisoners of a satanic cult

The Republicans have made it illegal to team about or even mention slavery.
We need to boycott those states.

It is the grooming and slow progression of the captivity of this man which are most disturbing and sickening.

It is very sad what was happening back then. I'm glad those days are somewhat over.
