She got married to another slave (Daniel James) and was beaten up by her master for it

In 1828 she travelled with her owners to England

She was the first black women to write and publish an autobiography

She was born in 1788

She was born into the life of a slave

Mary’s experience of slavery was very turbulent. Over the years she has had many different owners however they all treated her with little to no respect and treated her like an animal she went "from one butcher to another". Then in the next few years she met Daniel James a free carpenter at church and without the permission of her owner she married him. The punishment she faced for her rebellious actions were extremely cruel and violet Mary was horsewhipped. However this was not the only abuse she suffered from the owners Mary was also locked in a cage and beaten therefore preventing her from working for several months. After this she was found her the owners neighbours and when Mary asked to buy her freedom her request was denied. Overall Mary’s time as a slave was horrendous and the manner in which she was treated was unforgivable.

Mary Prince: Slave Personality

# data[].attributes.body
Mary Prince, a West Indian slave had many points and factors to her life. the most important three being when she married a man named Daniel James in 1826 against the will of John Wood, her master.

Another point is that Prince later joined the Anti-Slavery Society to beg for her freedom back to Antigua (her home) without being enslaved, Prince wins the court case and enters the house of Thomas Pringle as a free servant

And finally in 1831, prince published her book and it became so popular that three more editions were made that year.

Mary Prince describes her first master as kind and caring, her job was to look after her master's granddaughter until she was twelve and describes these years as the happier period of her life.

She is then sold to another master in the salt ponds of Turks Island. Here she describes her master as cruel and harsh and often beating her " she ironically describes her beatings as an education: "she taught me . . . to know the exact difference between the smart of the rope, the cart-whip, and the cow-skin, when applied to my naked body by her own cruel hand"".

She is then reassigned to a master by the name of, John Wood, during this time she marries against the will of Wood and to anger him even more, wants to leave to Antigua . This issue is taken to court, here Prince wins and stumbles upon her next master, Thomas Pringle.

Prince enters his house as a free slave and here writes her life story. Her book is published in 1831 and three more editions were published later that year.

There is no record of what happened after this time, but it is said that she spent her time in England until she died.

Ignatius wrote letters about slavery and after his death they were used as evidence to abolish the slave trade.
Ignatius wrote in one of his letters, "I say it is with reluctance, that I must observe your country's conduct has been uniformly wicked in the East – West Indies – and even on the coast of Guinea. – The grand object of English navigators – indeed of all Christian navigators – is money – money – money." Stating that all the slave traders cared about was money.

Mary prince had a similar experience to her life as a slave as any other slave would she faced being taken away from her family abused verbally and physically. As a child Mary Prince says that she was very happy as she did not yet know or realise what kind of future she was destined to have and the conditions she later faced. What made mary significant to other slaves was her determination and perseverance to end slavery and earn a life she chose to have. And for those reasons Mary Prince would fight back against her “owners” and refuse to do their dirty work.

Olaudah Equiano 
By Isabel Cook

One significant event is when, Olaudah and his sister were captured and taken by the traders, in Nigeria. At a large African settlement, Olaudah and his sister were separated and sold to different families. Olaudah spent seven months in slavery in Africa. He was mostly treated kindly, and sometimes part of the family, he was given simple household tasks to do. In Africa slaves were respected and their status as part of the family was valued.

Another significant event is when he was sold to another trader, then and marched to the coast and put on a slave trading ship. All the slaves were forced there and the insanitary conditions made life intolerable. Eventually the ship reached the West Indies and although many slaves had died there were still a lot that remained alive. He was then sold at auction but because he was so sickly, he was one of the last to be chosen. Olaudah was not strong enough to work high labor jobs so he was given the task of sitting with the grandfather of the house who was dying. All day long he had to sit on a hard-wooden chair ready in case the old man wanted anything. 

The last significant event was when the old man died. Olaudah was sold to a sea Captain who allowed the sailors on board the ship to teach him to read and to write. He was however very well treated by the merchant, but he still longed to be free and return to his homeland. He then began buying fruit before sailing and selling it to the sailors for a small profit. Eventually he saved enough to buy his freedom.

Olaudah, and his experience of a slave was no were near as bad as some. He was first sold nationally to an African family, that treated him with respect and sometimes part of the family. He was still young and longed to be back in his village with his family. But he was not there for long, he was then boarded on a middle passage slave ship. You can only imagen what it was like then. The hygiene, disease and illness and many more that made the journey horrendous and terrible. When he was sold to a family in the west indies he was treated horribly there as well, he had to sit on a rough wooden chair all day, every day and help an elderly with everyday life. He was there until the old man died then sold again to a sea captain. He was still not treated fairly but he was taught how to read and write and eventually he made a small profit from selling fruit that he earned his freedom. 

After he earned his freedom he was a free man, he settled in England and met Granville Sharp and the other members of the Society for the Abolition of Slavery. He made public speeches, giving a first-hand account of the treatment of slaves during capture, sea passage and slavery.

Significant events in Roper's Life

Moses was sold to a slave trader in 1821, thereby beginning his life as a slave.

In 1829, Moses Roper made his first attempt to escape slavery, but didn’t succeed. He was caught and sent to Lancaster jail.

In the summer of 1937, Roper published a narrative of his life and used a lecture tour to promote it.

Moses Roper's experience as a slave

Moses Roper was the son of an American farmer of English ancestry, who was the master of Roper. As an adolescence, Roper was sold and traded many times from his family to other slave traders. Roper mentioned in his biography that he was very difficult to sell due to his almost-white complexion and his resemblance of his father.

He faced extreme adversity during his time as a slave. Roper suffered from brutal punishment and torture on a consistent basis. Separated from his mother at 6, Roper was determined to reunite with his family while attempting for countless times to escape the chains of slavery from 1829 to 1834, resulting him being severely flogged every time after a failed attempt. This constant pain did not make Roper less determined to achieve his ultimate goal of freedom.

Roper finally succeeded to escape in 1834, and in the following year, he reached the shore of Liverpool, where slavery was banned a year ago. "My feelings when I first touched the shores of Britain were indescribable." Roper wrote in his journal. His  biography was published in 1837, recorded with his  life experience.

Moses Roper was a mulatto slave who wrote one of the major early books about life as a slave in the United States. Narrative of the Adventures and Escape of Moses Roper from American Slavery. Moses Roper was born Caswell County, North Carolina,  United States in the year 1815 or 1816 (estimated date).

Moses Roper faced extreme adversity during his time as a slave. He was brutally beaten and tortured on a consistent basis and demeaned to a point that would break the average person, however not Roper. Separated from his mother at the age of six, Roper became determined to reunite with his family while attempting to break free from the shackles of slavery. Roper was taken from his birthplace of North Carolina by a man named Mr Sneed. Sneed had difficulty selling Roper as he had descended from a white father and half white mother, so he traded Roper to Mr Michael, a man who made a living by purchasing slaves in northern territory and bringing them further south to sell. Roper moved between different slave owners and traders until he was finally sold to a man named Mr Hodge. At the time, the narrative was meant to show the American people of the horrors of slavery and to make an argument for the freedom of all people. Today, Roper’s narrative allows for a deeper understanding of the physical, emotional, and mental effects the institution of slavery had on those enslaved, allowing for more extensive studies of tis stain on the history of the United States of America.

Hodge soon sold Roper to a slave master named Mr Gooch who owned a plantation in Cashaw County, South Carolina. Mr Gooch was a very cruel slave master who immediately began to beat Roper when he was unable to complete the unreasonable tasks that were bestowed upon him. While with Mr Gooch, Roper determined that he was around the age of thirteen. It was at this age, after being threatened by floggings for an uncontrollable mistake, Roper made his first of many attempts to escape. Escaping from slavery was highly dangerous and could result in the severe injury and death of a slave.

-Was given birth to on a slave ship

-He became a well known composer, actor, and writer

-He became the first the first African to vote in parliamentary elections in Britain

Ignatius Sancho was given birth to on a slave ship in 1729, and was soon enslaved in Grenada. A biography written by Joseph Jekyll suggest that his mother died when he was an infant after arriving at the Spanish West Indies and his father took his own life rather than living as a slave, and so Sancho became an orphan. He was soon taken to Greenwich, London around the age of two to serve three sisters as a slave. During this time he met John Montagu (the inventor of the sandwich) who inspired and encouraged Sancho to have an education, and he supplied him with books to read. When montage died in 1749, Sancho ran away and persuaded Montagu’s widow Mary to employ him as a butler after she died in 1751 he then served George Montagu. After he left the Montagu’s house he met and married his wife Anne Osborne, a West Indian whom he had seven children with. As Sancho was a financially independent male, he was given consent to vote in 1774, and did so again just before his death in 1780, which made him the first person with an African origin to vote.
