Harriet jacobs incidents in the life of a slave girl
american slavery as it is
Harriet Jacobs (Edenton, North Carolina, 1813 – March 7, 1897) was an American abolitionist and feminist writer. In 1861, she published Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl under the pseudonym Linda Brent.
In 1825, Margaret Horniblow died and Harriet was sent to Horniblow’s niece, whose father, Dr. James Norcom, became her new master. The latter not only sexually harassed her for nearly a decade, but refused to grant her marriage to anyone else. For some support, she entered into a relationship with Samuel Sawyer, a white man and lawyer with whom she had two children who were also owned by Norcom. The author claims that Norcom threatened to sell her children if she opposed his sexual demands.
Jacobs was one of the many slaves who in the mid-19th century composed autobiographical narratives in an attempt to show the North of the United States the true face of the «peculiar institution» of slavery present in the Southern states.
twelve years a slave
Harriet Jacobs (Edenton, North Carolina, 1813 – March 7, 1897) was an African-American enslaved woman and later an abolitionist and feminist writer. In 1861, she published her autobiography, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, under the pseudonym Linda Brent.
While Harriet had to remain in hiding, Sawyer took John with him on a trip north. John won his freedom by abandoning Sawyer to New York, where slavery had already been abolished. Shortly thereafter, Sawyer sent his daughter Louisa Matilda to live with relatives in New York, having sought and obtained Jacobs’ approval for this through the grandmother’s mediation.
His work with the Willis family ended abruptly in October 1843 when his whereabouts were revealed to Norcom. She fled to Boston, Massachusetts, with Louisa, where she was reunited with her brother John and his son Joseph, whom her great-grandmother had sent to Boston, apparently with Sawyer’s permission. John brought her into contact with the abolitionist movement around William Lloyd Garrison. In 1849 she resided at the home of Isaac and Amy Post in Rochester, New York, where she also met the famous black leader Frederick Douglass. Both Douglass and the Posts were not only abolitionists, but also supporters of women’s suffrage.
