A document of extraordinary resistance.
This is a short and simple, yet poignant autobiography of Annie Burton, who recounts her early childhood as a slave on a southern plantation while the Civil War raged around her, and after the Emancipation Proclamation, how her life changed as she struggled to maintain herself and family, manage her finances, and develop as a free person of color. In it Burton offers extraordinary resistance to the emerging racial caste system of Reconstruction and post-Reconstruction America. While her text begins with reminiscences about her childhood in chattel bondage, at the heart of her work is the power struggle between black women domestic workers and their white female employers. The last half of the narrative relies heavily upon speeches, poems, and hymns written by others that stirred Annie's religious passions and increased her pride in her heritage, including a very powerful speech by Dr. P. Thomas Stanford.
Memories of Childhood's Slavery Days is not only one woman's quest from slavery to physical freedom but also her journey from a proscribed role to the creation of own free identity.

Compton Interesting look at a young slave girl that was freed at the end of the Civil War while still a child and before anything bad happened to her. The author gave an interesting narrative of slave children and white children playing together while very young.Her experiences after the Civil War ended, are as interesting as her experiences while it was going on.I recommend this little gem to anyone interested in that era of American History.
