My Life In The South is a memoir written by Jacob Stroyer, an African-American man who was born into slavery in the South in the mid-19th century. The book provides a firsthand account of the experiences of a slave and his eventual escape to freedom. Stroyer recounts his childhood, his work as a slave, and the various forms of abuse and mistreatment he endured. He also describes the ways in which he and other slaves found ways to resist their oppressors, whether through small acts of rebellion or by seeking education and knowledge. The book also explores Stroyer's spiritual journey, as he grapples with the contradictions of his faith and the realities of slavery. Ultimately, My Life In The South offers a powerful and poignant look at the lives of enslaved people in the South and the struggles they faced in their quest for freedom.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
