“Argh!” I yelled as I was being dragged to the ship. The year is 1619, and I TuPac (to-pok) and hundreds of other slaves have been captured in Africa, and they are going on a slave ship to America to be slaves. I don’t know what they’re going to do to us in America, but I hope it’s not bad.
The year is 1776, and this is TuPac’s grandson Pedro. A few days ago the Declaration of Independence was signed, and now some states are beginning to ban slavery.

It’s 1861, and the Civil War has started, which is making our journey more risky.
It is five a.m. in the morning. The nice couple that let us stay cooked us up some eggs. We are going to leave and get back on the railroad at six.
We are back on the railroad to get to the north. There’s a lot of posters with black people on them that are wanted for $150 dollars a slave. There’s is news that it took harriet Tubman a week to reach only 120 miles. We’ve been walking for over twelve hours and are only in Iowa. For the night we’re staying in a log cabin with a man and his two sons.
It’s morning and we’re heading to the north again, and will be traveling to North
