Firsthand Accounts of Slavery
When I WAS A SLAVE books were being compiled from the slave narratives, these autobiographies of slaves were merely grouped in alphabetical order by US states or by chosen individual stories. Due to this stockpile of unorganized information about this era of American history (specifically black history or African-American history), finding a significant amount of details about a specific topic from the pages of interviews by the former American slaves was tedious. Now, the narratives are being published by individual subjects in separate books. These history books, remaining in the own words of the former American slaves throughout, are virtually unedited and provide pages of quotes and full life stories primarily about one specific topic, such as slave children, slave breeding, and slave auctions.
