About a year after slaves started disappearing, I heard Master telling his wife about some slaves further down south were starting up rebellions. I didn't really understand what that meant. I figured that it meant that slaves were asking farmers if they could be let free with a price. My master then caught me looking at him I yelled at me to get to work. His wife gave me a sad look, a look of understanding.
later that night I asked Father what a rebellion was. He told me that it was when slaves tried t get there point across to white folks that they did not want to be treated this way. They did it by killing white folks. I didn't think that was the right thing for slaves to do, but if that is what it took to get the point across.
