SYNOPSIS
Solomon Northup was a black man born free in the middle of the nineteenth century in New York State. At that time there were millions of black slaves working on plantations in the South of the USA. At the story opens, Solomon is happily married with three children. Two friendly white men offer him a job as a musician in a travelling circus. He accepts and travels with them to Washington, where he falls ill and wakes up in a terrible situation - his 'fri ends' have sold him to a slave dealer. His new 'owner' beats him badly and then transports him with other slaves to the South. At the slave market in New Orleans, Solomon (whose slave name is 'Platt') is bought by a plantation owner called William Ford. Although Ford does not question the morality of slavery, he treats his slaves well. Platt's next owner is a cruel and stupid man called Tibeats. Tibeats finds fault with everything Platt does, and eventually they fight. Tibeats tries to kill Platt, but he escapes into the Louisiana swamps, and returns to his first master, Ford. Platt is then sold to a new plantation owner called Epps, who grows cotton. Epps beats his slaves and gives them very little rest or food. Solomon is there for ten years, and thinks about escape and his family every day. One day, a white man called Bass comes to work for Epps. He believes that slavery is wrong - and Solomon decides to ask for his help. Putting himself in danger, Bass agrees to write a letter to Solomon's family in the North.Months later, two strangers appear at the Epps plantation. They are Solomon's friends and they have come to rescue him. He returns to his family in the North, from where he writes this moving book.
