Life as a slave

Good morning

i remeber when i had to plant and pick cotton. I had to work at sun rise and stop at sun set. I have been a slave all my life. I really don't remember my brothers and sisters. All of them were either sold or killed. I do remember my mother hiding me in the woods so that our master Billy Grandy would not sell me. I never really got water my mother had to find water in a puddle and it always had bugs in it. When i was hungry mother picked berries, raw corn, potato's and other things. I have heard about the under ground rail road. Only the slaves know about it. We all use code words so that our masters would not know what we are talking about. i am so glade im not a slave any more my life was so bad but now i am free because of the under groud railroad
