      The largest slave owner in North Carolina was a black man name John Carruthers Stanly . He kidnapped a free black man . Forced him to work for him till he escaped and took him to court in Craven County where the judge sided with the free man , and told Stanly he would have to pay the man 2 yrs wages for forced labor .

He did not disappear, he moved to a place where his family was deemed safe until AFTER 1857. "According to John R. Smith, in letters written in the 1930s, his father Rev. John L. Smith, a Methodist minister in Vermont, had worked with Northup and former slave Tabbs Gross in the early 1860s, during the Civil War, aiding fugitive slaves on the Underground Railroad. Northup was said to have visited Rev. Smith after Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, which was made in January 1863"

      PLEASE, you, and EVERYONE, if you haven't already, embrace the One True Only God YHWH Jehovah, Only One Jesus Christ His Only Begotten Son and Lord and Savior of our souls and the Only One Holy Spirit. God is good. God is love. Jesus is Lord. Jesus IS coming. Your soul depends on it!
      I have seen God act in my life. He saved my soul, changed my heart, changed my mind, helped people through me, took care of people in my life, people I hurt before I found God. God is the only reason I was able to reconcile with my dad before he died.
      God worked through Jesus Christ to save our souls. Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and that God raised Him from the dead and you will be saved. Be baptized in The Holy Spirit, and if He wills, water as well. Repent of your sins, accept God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit into your heart, that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins.
      For God so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, that all who believe on Him shall not perish but have eternal life. Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth and The Life. No one comes to the Father Jehovah God but through Him.
      Not long after I got saved I prayed to God for help understanding the Holy Bible, and that same day someone knocked on my door asking me if I wanted to understand the Bible.
      The Holy Bible says, "love thy enemy", "turn the other cheek", "If your enemy is hungry, feed him", "if he is thirsty, give him a drink", "pray for those who persecute you", "do not repay evil for evil".
      LORD willing, all humans may commit sin of almost every kind (gay, straight), and that's wrong, and all humans sin, as God tells us through the The Holy Bible, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus." The Holy Bible also says, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.", "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you." and, “For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."

      PLEASE, you, and EVERYONE, if you haven't already, embrace the One True Only God YHWH Jehovah, Only One Jesus Christ His Only Begotten Son and Lord and Savior of our souls and the Only One Holy Spirit. God is good. God is love. Jesus is Lord. Jesus IS coming. Your soul depends on it!
      I have seen God act in my life. He saved my soul, changed my heart, changed my mind, helped people through me, took care of people in my life, people I hurt before I found God. God is the only reason I was able to reconcile with my dad before he died.
      God worked through Jesus Christ to save our souls. Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and that God raised Him from the dead and you will be saved. Be baptized in The Holy Spirit, and if He wills, water as well. Repent of your sins, accept God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit into your heart, that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins.
      For God so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, that all who believe on Him shall not perish but have eternal life. Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth and The Life. No one comes to the Father Jehovah God but through Him.
      Not long after I got saved I prayed to God for help understanding the Holy Bible, and that same day someone knocked on my door asking me if I wanted to understand the Bible.
      The Holy Bible says, "love thy enemy", "turn the other cheek", "If your enemy is hungry, feed him", "if he is thirsty, give him a drink", "pray for those who persecute you", "do not repay evil for evil".
      LORD willing, all humans may commit sin of almost every kind (gay, straight), and that's wrong, and all humans sin, as God tells us through the The Holy Bible, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus." The Holy Bible also says, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.", "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you." and, “For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."

    This happened more often than you would believe… slaves that paid and got their freedom… would just be kidnapped off the street and sold again, despite the proof that they were freed men…
    Same thing happened to Irish slaves… they would be signed into a contract to work for seven years, when that seven years was up… they would say I am dissatisfied with the service and I demand you give me another seven years… they would repeat the process over and over… even when they did pay for their freedom… they would just be grabbed off the street and sold to another person
    But, Whereas Irish slaves could die their hair, get rid of their accent and disguise themselves as English or European… African slaves couldn’t do the same😢

    12 Years a Slave was really well acted. It immediately makes me think of Django with Jamie Fox in it. Leonardo DiCaprio was a mean slave master. The places actors go to make their characters come alive is something to behold. I saw Leonardo DiCaprio in an interview and if I am remembering correctly, Samuel L Jackson was there as well. Leonardo was having difficulty saying some of the dialogue with all the hate and the N word being thrown around, whippings, etc. And, I think it was Samuel L Jackson that talked to Leonardo to help him "go there" to be the evil, hateful tyrant needed to play that part. I honestly think it bodes well for Leonardo to have had a difficult time with the role though it was not real life, not who he actually is. It's a "heart thing" (which is beautiful).

      Make me ashamed that some human beings can say DEI is a great step forward when it is a return to discrimination.
      Anytime ANYONE is treated differently due to skin colour, race, religious beliefs, political beliefs etc than anyone else under the law that is DISCRIMINATION pure and simple.

      @@kyleburnette1872 No, they didn't. The only reason they got off on the court case is that the crime (shanghaiing) was deemed to have happened in Washington DC but Northrop couldn't testify there. If they set foot in New York, they would have been prosecuted under an 1840 law that made it illegal to "entice" someone in New York out of state for the purpose of selling him into slavery. Northrop would have been able to testify against them in New York. .

    What a movie I'm 45 yrs old and I'm from a mixed race family and I'm white my brothers and sisters are brown skin. We have hated racism from very young and I learnt about these times from the movie colour purple it broke our hearts watching it as 10 yr old kids. We are all sooo equal and give me a like for we are one on one planet.😊

      Same here. I'm the lightest of the blood kids parents adopted too. We never cared about the shade of wheat we were. Movies like this are gur wrenching. We each talk sometimes over a couple drinks of how we are dismissed from our race or racial identity or mistaken or judged. In the end we have just coined it melonin judgement. Most people are guilty of it to a degree. Even people of similar shade. And almost always the ones saying they champion for other races. They sure due until you step off the reservation of ideas. I'm always heartened to hear that other mixed race families hold together over topics like this. There is a future for us all. ❤

      So did our white ancestors.. the word slave comes from the Slavic people who long before black slaves were white slaves. Oh but you didn't learn that in government school.

      What about Native americans! They were invaded, hunted like animals, thrown from their ancestral lands, they were also enslaved, and were finally given american citizenship in 1957!! In some states they weren't allowed to vote until 1958!!

      No reason to be ashamed of something you didn't do. Our actions as individuals are what defines us. If your daddy (hypothetically) was a horrible person, then you can choose to be better and not let it affect how you see others and others see you. I'm proud to be southern. I know that because of the Christian values this nation was built on and that all men are created equal, no man or woman should be treated that way. Some will argue that the South fought to keep slaves, and its true some did but that's not what it was all about. Even if we succeeded from the union, slavery would've been outlawed in due time anyway. Abraham Lincoln only cared about it when the union was deep into the war and needed a moral high ground to get people on their side and justify their own atrocities they commited to southern civilians during their campaign
