1 I was born in Tuckahoe, near Hillsborough, and about twelve miles from Easton, in Talbot county, Maryland. 2 I have no accurate knowledge of my age, never having seen any authentic record containing it. 3 By far the larger part of the slaves know as little of their ages as horses know of theirs, and it is the wish of most masters within my knowledge to keep their slaves thus ignorant. 4 A lack of information concerning my own was a source of unhappiness to me even during childhood.
5 The white children could tell their ages. 6 I could not tell why I ought to be deprived of the same privilege. 7 I was not allowed to make any inquiries of my master concerning it. 8 He deemed all such inquiries on the part of a slave improper and impertinent, and evidence of a restless spirit. 9 The nearest estimate I can give makes me now between twenty-seven and twenty-eight years of age. 10 I come to this, from hearing my master say, sometime during 1835, I was about seventeen years old.
11 My mother was named Harriet Bailey. 12 She was the daughter of Isaac and Betsey Bailey, both colored, and quite dark. 13 My mother was of a darker complexion than either my grandmother or grandfather.
14 My father was a white man. 15 He was admitted to be such by all I ever heard speak of my parentage. 16 The opinion was also whispered that my master was my father; but of the correctness of this opinion, I know nothing; the means of knowing was withheld from me.
17 My mother and I were separated when I was but an infant—before I knew her as my mother. 18 It is a common custom in the part of Maryland from which I ran away, to part children from their mothers at a very early age. 19 Frequently, before the child has reached its twelfth month, its mother is taken from it, and hired out on some farm a considerable distance off, and the child is placed under the care of an old woman, too old for field labor. 20 For what this separation is done, I do not know, unless it be to hinder the development of the child’s affection toward its mother, and to blunt and destroy the natural affection of the mother for the child. 21 This is the inevitable result.

American Flag
1 Whether the tremendous war so heroically fought and so victoriously ended shall pass into history a miserable failure, barren of permanent results, would be a scandalous and shocking waste of blood and treasure—a strife for empire.
2 As Earl Russell characterized it, it is of no value to liberty or civilization,—an attempt to re-establish a Union by force, which must be the merest mockery of a Union.
3 It is an effort to bring under Federal authority States into which no loyal man from the North may safely enter, and to bring men into the national councils who deliberate with daggers and vote with revolvers.
4 They do not even conceal their deadly hate of the country that conquered them.
5 Or whether, on the other hand, we shall, as the rightful reward of victory over treason, have a solid nation, entirely delivered from all contradictions and social antagonisms, based upon loyalty, liberty, and equality.
6 This must be determined one way or the other by the present session of Congress.
