William Green (former slave) : ウィキペディア英語版 | William Green (former slave)
William Green was a slave in the nineteenth century. He wrote a narrative of his life as a slave, and his subsequent escape from his master. His narrative was published in 1853. There is no known record of his date of birth. ==Childhood== Green was born in Oxford Neck, Maryland. He was born three months before his mother was freed and so he was brought into the world a slave. At the death of his mother's old mistress he became the property of Mr. Nicholas Singleton. Mr. Singleton was planning on going to New Orleans and he was going to take the young Green with him. Green's mother did not want him to go that far south, so she managed to convince Mr. Singleton to sell Green to Edward Hamilton. A man who Green described in his narrative as: "... one of those quiet, peaceable kind of people, who mind their own business, and let other people's alone." Green came into Mr. Hamilton's possession at the age of eight.
