When Mr Lincoln made it clear  to America,that we were no longer owned,but free, we gathered our few pieces of clothing, and had no idea
where  to go , or what to do with ourselves. It seems we walked for an
Eternity,sleeping in barns or near riverbeds, on dry ground,twigs or moss
some of us  could read,and others could not write their name with a
dry stick.We slept back to back,for warmth.Long gone were family
-*/members.Having been sold to other plantation owners.When the evil rule  of
slavery was still coiled,around our lives ,like a snake.Now that its gone,what am i to do,
with this new gift of freedom?
