Slave Narratives from the Federal Writers’ Project, 1936-1938

Well, here is something I doubt any one of us ever heard of before  – until now.

This is included in chapter 23 of  “The Un-Civil War” by Mike Scruggs (Leonard M. Scruggs)

I found this on the web and I encourage everyone who has any interest in turning back the lies about slavery and The South  to follow up on this.  You will find out that the Northern LIES (history) about Slaves and the Plantation owners is just more OCCUPATION FORCE propaganda.  Too bad all Negro’s aren’t made to sit and read this to see how their own history has been so horribly buried in lies.  Like most all media the film industry did their part in making Plantation owners all be mean – cruel masters when that is not the case.  (“Roots” among many others walking hand in hand with those paperback novels of the South).  Sure there were some but for the most part Slaves were treated as family.  And as it is today – there are
good parents and there are bad parents.

This book has me completely involved as few others ever have in life.  Much I have read in other sources over the years and having family members who fought on the Confederate side I
have heard many stories that never fit with the BS taught in schools.

For those who still believe that the North was right in what it did – I challenge you to read these written reports of interviews from the Slaves and to buy and read The Un-Civil War.  Once you read how Lincoln and his criminal cohorts did things you will also far better understand what is going on RIGHT now in our land.  Lincoln’s slaves are todays ILLEGALS – all used to destroy America and  the Constitution that was supposed to be THE LAW in governing this nation.

Lincoln and Stantons abortion of the 13th Amendment – followed by Johnson’s failure to stop that fraudulent 14th Amendment  are right in line with Soetoro’s OBAMACARE ……

Born in Slavery: Slave Narratives from the Federal Writers’ Project, 1936-1938 contains more than 2,300 first-person accounts of slavery and 500 black-and-white photographs of former slaves. These narratives were collected in the 1930s as part of the Federal Writers’ Project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and assembled and microfilmed in 1941 as the seventeen-volume Slave Narratives: A Folk History of Slavery in the United States from Interviews with Former Slaves. This online collection is a joint presentation of the Manuscript and Prints and Photographs Divisions of the Library of Congress and includes more than 200 photographs from the Prints and Photographs Division that are now made available to the public for the first time. Born in Slavery was made possible by a major gift from the Citigroup Foundation.

The mission of the Library of Congress is to make its resources available and useful to Congress and the American people and to sustain and preserve a universal collection of knowledge and creativity for future generations. The goal of the Library’s National Digital Library Program is to offer broad public access to a wide range of historical and cultural documents as a contribution to education and lifelong learning.
