Summary "“The New Man: Twenty-nine Years a Slave, Twenty-nine Years a Free Man” by H. C. Bruce is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book recounts the author's personal experiences and reflections on slavery, detailing both the hardships faced by enslaved individuals and the diverse treatment they received from their masters. As someone who lived through nearly three decades of enslavement before gaining freedom, Bruce presents a nuanced perspective on slavery and its effects on both the enslaved and their masters." The opening of the book introduces the author's intent to provide an impartial account of slavery based on his own life experiences. He emphasizes that not all masters were cruel and not all slaves suffered equally, noting the existence of both kind and harsh masters. Bruce shares insights into the varying behaviors and characteristics among slaves, emphasizing the impact of bloodlines on their attitudes. He illustrates his upbringing in slavery, touching on significant events and relationships that shaped his life, including moments of joy and danger during his childhood. As he begins to recount specific experiences, he sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the complexities surrounding the institution of slavery and its aftermath.
