Some of the narratives are really quite compelling and a far cry from the
Uncle Tom's Cabin scenario. An example is:
Dis is de way we was livin w'en de Civil war broke out. We was livin' a
happy life, an' our Master was kind an' good to us. We never thought about
any 'sonsibility of how de money was to cum from. We would have been satisfied
to live dis way de rest of our lives.
