The Road To Freedom

Yes sis, i have have to do this quickly because master wants me to get back to work. i think today is Friday, August 1, 1834. Ive been hearing whispers of freedom. me and alot of others are going to walk up hills and climbed trees to clearly witness the literal dawning of our freedom. After  that we are going to go to a church called "Divine Services" to give thanks and praise. word on the street is that today marked the emancipation of all slaves in British colonies but it was a case of freedom with conditions.  i heard Abolition Act stated that i was free but only my kids were truly freed.  they said that i was still in a six-year apprenticeship
