Summary "Step by Step; Or, Tidy's Way to Freedom" by the American Tract Society is a historical narrative likely written during the mid-19th century. This poignant account explores the brutal realities of slavery through the eyes of a young enslaved girl named Tidy, who navigates her harsh existence while clinging to hope for freedom and a better life. The text addresses the moral abhorrence of slavery and highlights the human resilience within the confines of oppression. The opening of the narrative introduces readers to the grim context of slavery, detailing the physical, emotional, and intellectual deprivation faced by those who are enslaved, particularly through the experiences of Tidy's mother, Annie. The prose vividly conveys the deep bond between mother and child, even amidst the pain of forced separation and loss. As the tale unfolds, Tidy is depicted as a symbol of hope and determination, yearning for knowledge and freedom, contrasting with the stark realities imposed by her circumstances. The initial chapters set a tone of sorrow intertwined with a glimmer of aspiration, foreshadowing Tidy’s journey towards self-discovery and her quest for liberation.
