Acerca de esta escucha
Pre-Civil War, 1850, enslaved people could sense that their lives were going to change. Slaves reasoned that they would not be slaves forever. They developed lasting relationships and worked together across plantations to share information and protect each other. A young girl was taught to read when knowing how to read was banned, punishable by whipping or even death. Her ability to read affected everyone and helped them to prepare for freedom, unbeknownst to slave owners. Once the war began, President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation declaring slaves were free, if they were in a rebellion State. The owners were determined to keep their wealth and power over the enslaved even if the South lost the war. The slaves were listening and preparing for revenge and freedom. They would be free but free to do what?
A suspenseful fictional but historically authentic family saga that captures the rhythm of being African American; a style all our own, the way we talk, and the mannerism we all have. The novel describes the fortitude it took to survive and keep your dignity, like the Elders. The characters are easy to root for or against. A thriller as you bond with men and women who maneuver for a better life. There are also humorous moments and distinctive personalities just like you would find today. It is a book about people living under harsh and hostile conditions and still finding a way to keep their dignity! This is their story, an African American story. A story of love, betrayal, revenge, and redemption. A story of families, of strong Black men & women, and how America left their fate to the same people who enslaved them; free to do as they pleased with no repercussions.

The year was 1877 and Reconstruction was working until Presidential politics removed the union troops from the South unleashing violent cold-blooded men to pray upon black Americans.

Bullwhip Days is a remarkable compendium of selections from these extraordinary interviews, providing an unflinching portrait of the world of government-sanctioned slavery of Africans in America. Here are 29 full narrations, as well as nine sections of excerpts related to particular aspects of slave life, from religion to plantation life to the Reconstruction era.

Historia
Harriet Ann Jacob's autobiography documents her life as a slave and how she attained freedom for herself and her children. Harrowing in its descriptions of sexual abuse, Jacob's slave narrative is notable for the appeal it made to abolitionist women to open their eyes to the realities of slavery. Deemed too shocking for reading audiences at the time, the book was shelved before it was published in 1861 near the start of the Civil War.

Taken in by an army surgeon and his wife during the War, she learned to read and write, to tolerate the sight of blood and broken bodies - and to forget what is too painful to bear.
