This was terribly sad. It was very similar to the story of Rose Williams and how happy she was that the master chose to purchase her as well as her parents.

The fact that Lucinda was willing to forfeit her newly gained freedom just to be re-enslaved with her husband shows the strong emotional bond they shared together. -- Lindsey S.</ins></div></td></tr>

I can't imagine living the life a slave did, being forced into doing things they didn't want to do and having to accept it because that was considered the norm. Poor Rose was so excited and thought her "Massa" was doing her a favor when he bought her whole family;however, his underlying motive for purchasing her was purely economic.  He saw her has the ideal way to make more money by having her produce more slaves. How could these white masters truly not care about their slaves at all? I couldn't imagine being forced into having a child with someone I didn't love, just to face the possibility that my child may get sold to another slave owner, or that I could be sold to someone else once I got older and wasn't able to produce anymore children. Every person deserves to be happy or at the very least have a chance at happiness- for Rose, she never had that opportunity. After she was freed she never wanted to get married or be in a relationship with any man, which shows how much of an emotional and psychological toll her master's organized rape and childbirth played on her. --Lindsey S.</ins></div></td></tr>

When the passage talks about how "for many years, one or other, and often more of her slaves were flogged every day," one has to question how  Weld was able to continue to believe "herself a paragon of religious piety."  Even though Weld clearly sees her slaves as "belongings," it still amazes me that she was able to perpetrate these beatings and other cruelties on a regular basis and still she herself as the very definition of a good christian woman. --Grace C.</ins></div></td></tr>

The differences she mentions in the way that she was raised to treat and act around slaves in her parents house and the way she feels towards them now is very telling of her attitude towards her (as she calls them) "servants." At one point in her diary, speaking of slaves in her parents household she says, "I was not allowed to exercise tyranny or injustice of any sort toward them and on the other side, the most implicit submission was exacted toward me."  This seems to me to be a different relationship than most other slave households you here of during that time in the South, because it calls for an almost mutual respect between masters and  slaves. To add to that idea of mutual respect, calling her slaves servants in it of itself says a lot about how she feels about the slaves in her household. --Grace C.</ins></div></td></tr>

I was surprised at how much money she was worth and by the fact that Mr. Hawkins bought both parents with her. I was also surprised at her tone, she was simply telling a story rather than taking every opportunity to complain. I guess compared to her first master, Mr. Hawkins was a slave’s dream in some cases. Reading a first hand account of what was so common a thing makes what we learned in class much more real and sad… -- Emma C.</ins></div></td></tr>
