This just shows the bonds that some slave families had. He or she had been sold away from each other and even though she could have made a life for herself in the North she wanted to be with her husband. I think that while this document is sad because it shows how slave families were broken up over plantations it also shows how much love these lave families were able to develop. –Kayle P. | This just shows the bonds that some slave families had.

| + | I agree with Remy. 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. I don't understand how one person could treat another person in such a way. 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. | ||
