Abstract

Critically reviewing the historical monographs that have been produced during the time of slavery, it is evident that both The Narrative of the Life of Fredrick douglas by Frederick douglas and Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher stowe are among the most notable works to have been produced during this time period. Although each of these texts deals extensively with the issue of slavery, what is perhaps most interesting about these texts is that they address the "peculiar institution" of slavery in notably different ways. What this effectively suggests about slavery is that while the institution was a shared experience among African Americans in the South, individual accounts of slavery demonstrate that specific encounters with slavery provide significantly different analyses.with the realization that the experiences of slavery encountered by individual slaves are notably different, there is a clear impetus to examine this issue. To this end, this investigation utilizes both douglas and stowe's work to examine some of the individual differences in experiences with slavery. Through a careful comparison of the two texts, it will be possible to demonstrate that even though slavery had a profound impact on the African American community as a whole, the experiences of individuals involved in slavery are quite different overall.
