The article discusses the experiences of the author as an African American slave during the time of slavery in the U.S. The author lived in a plantation in Georgia. His master was a very rich man, owning three plantations, each with a compliment of slaves. He even held horse races at his house, using his own horses. When the Northern soldiers came, they stole the horses and all the food and burnt everything else to the ground, except for the slave quarters. The master tried to rebuild his house but it was not as large as his first one.
