Today was such a stressful day on the farm,since it`s harvest season we have to work much harder.But tomorrow it`ll all be better when i get to see Abigail. Abigail is my best friend who lives with her mom and siblings.Her dad was separated from the family due to slavery.One thing I am happy about is that when we were slaves our family did not get separated. Abigail is suppose to come over to trade some goods and hang out for a little bit. I haven`t seen her since Sunday at church because she does not go to school with me.She has to stay home and help her mom with work. I am actually a few lucky one that get to go to school.
Today I had to go to the shop to buy some new cloth so I can put together a dress for mom`s birthday.Since there isn`t much I can buy , because it`d be too expensive to buy. Right now the British rules us, we are loyal to them since they granted us freedom.
Our family was quite beaten and abused , we went through but we are now that we finally found a place that accepts us and sees that we are too human.This new land that I call home is the best thing that happened to me. I am writing this diary so my children can look back and understand how I lived my life as a slave and am now in the "land of freedom"
