Slave Narratives: a Folk History of Slavery in the United States From Interviews with Former Slaves Georgia Narratives, Part 3 is a powerful and haunting collection of firsthand accounts from former slaves. The book provides a unique and invaluable look into the brutal and dehumanizing institution of slavery in America.

The narratives are raw, honest, and heartbreaking, as former slaves recount the harsh realities of their lives under bondage. From the physical abuse and forced labor to the emotional trauma of being separated from loved ones, these stories paint a vivid picture of the injustices suffered by African Americans during this dark period in American history.
