Page 3: 👞 SLAVE NARRATIVES 👞

Sarah was never sold herself in a slave auction, but recalls her

mothers stories of being allotted to a white man named Jimmie

Graves. Allotted is another word for rented out.

Page 4: 👞 SLAVE NARRATIVES 👞

Sarah and her mother were moved to

Mississippi at the age of six months because her mother was allotted to

Jimmie Graves.

Page 5: 👞 SLAVE NARRATIVES 👞

Sarah remembers her living quarters as well

kept, but small and uncomfortable. Her

family had to prepare their own meals at

night after long days of working on the fields.

Beds were uncomfortable and

usually made of wood and grass.

Sarah recalls her sleeping arrangements as wooden boxes filled with straw. She lived in the same cabin all her

life with her mother and father, who was sick and could not

work.

Sarah Frances Grave was often beaten as slave by her master named Shaw. She admits that

sometimes she deserved the beatings, but other times she was beaten for the faults of the

masters children.

Page 9: 👞 SLAVE NARRATIVES 👞

Nat Turner was born on October 2, 1800. In 1821, Turner ran

away from his overseer, returning after 30 days because of a vision in which the Spirit had told him to "return to the service

of my earthly master."

Page 10: 👞 SLAVE NARRATIVES 👞

Nat Turner had two more visions

leading him to believe he was

being held responsible and had to kill the white men to

defend the black people's spirits.

In 1831, Nat Turner led a rebellion in Southampton County, Virginia. Turner and a group of his followers killed sixty white men, women, and children on the

night of August 21. Turner and sixteen of his conspirators were captured and

executed.

• Freed in 1863, but heard so much about slavery coming back that they stayed with the Crowdes' two years longer or until 1865 when they were sure that they were freed.

Page 13: 👞 SLAVE NARRATIVES 👞

Sarah and her mother had fifty cents when they were freed in

1865. They lived two miles north of their former masters.
