| Summary | "Slave Narratives: A Folk History of Slavery in the United States from Interviews with Former Slaves" is a historical account produced by the Federal Writers' Project during the late 1930s. This work compiles firsthand narratives from former slaves, capturing their experiences during and after slavery through their own voices and recollections. The accounts provide insight into the lives, hardships, triumphs, and memories of Black Americans who lived through this complex and painful era in American history. The opening of the narratives presents a collection of interviews conducted with former slaves in Arkansas. Each interviewee shares personal stories of their childhood, family life, and the transition to freedom after the Civil War. For instance, Silas Abbott recounts fond memories of growing up under his master, Ely Abbott, while several others reflect on their family's experiences of sale, the relationships built across racial lines, and the challenge of adjusting to newfound freedom. The voices captured in this narrative are diverse, with each individual offering unique perspectives on hardship, survival, and the pursuit of a better life, ultimately serving as a profound documentation of their collective history and heritage.
