Carle Johnson

My name is Carle Johnson and I was born and raised in St. Luis. I am the youngest of three brothers. My brothers and I were separated when I was thirteen .I have a father that I never got to know but, I have a mother that was with me until I was about thirteen. My mother was sold to a man that hade a lot of slaves and a big farm. I was also sold to a man named Polly when I was separated from my mother.My master, Polly owned a food market that the slaves he owned would run the place.

He was a very mean person only, if you weren’t doing your job the way you where so post to. Polly had two gorges girls, most of the time he would take his two girls every where with him. So if a slave tried to talk to one of the girls the slave would get punished or beaten to death. Carle would always do what he was asked to do so he would stay out of trouble, and earn his freedom.
After Carle being with Polly for twelve years he wanted his freedom. It got to the point where he would try to escape from Polly’s market. As punishment Carle got wiped all over his back every time he tried to escape. Also, so that he could suffer even more Polly put salt on his cutes. At this point Carle just wanted to see his mother and tree brothers and find his father. For Carle’s attempts of trying to got out of Polly’s market Polly him self put a metal chain that was around his foot, and on the other end of the chain was a metal ball. Since it was very hard for Carle to try to escape with a metal ball around his foot he stopped trying for a wile. Then Polly’s people tuck off the metal ball and put him to work again.
Then two weeks later Carle try’s to escape one’s again but this time he attempted late at night. Carle managed to escape, so he went all south to St.Luis to were he was separated from his mother and his tree brothers. Ever since Carle escaped he has never seen old Polly yet again. Therefore as he was going to St.Luis he was stopped by some white folks, and he was captured once again however this time he was captured by a man named David Santiago. Carle later found out that this man David Santiago had two of his brothers. Carle was put to work on a field of corn and found his two brothers Miguel and Luis. He was happy to be spending time and getting to now his two brothers. Carle was happy that he was working for this man David witch was his master. David would treat his slaves well and would feed them all the time. Then some years past and slavery got to the point wearer it was illegal to have a black person as a slave. So then this David Santiago man had to let go of all of his slaves.
Then Carle, Miguel and Luis started to look for there other brother Dimity and there mother. Two motes later they all get united but the only one that was not there was the dad. They never know what happened to the father. But that did not stop them from looking for there dad. The end.
