And they( slaves) have to listen to harsh words them whites to say ‘This one too old',` or `this one lame,` or `This one don`t amount to much.` Her husband was sold and taken away from her the same as her children, she begun to wail which provoke sudden hate in slave- traders and was told to shut up her blubbering,` an` hit her ‘de mouf wid his han`'. 

The most touching moment and the most desperate moment is when her little Henry was taken away she grabbed him close up to her breast she was bold enough to say `You shan`t take him away,` she says `I`ll kill de man dat tetches him!` But little Henry says such words as `I will to run away, and then I work an` buy your freedom.` Aunt Rachel tried to stop them, alone against the whole system,but could not.
