Rarely do we come across accounts of slaves successfully escaping to freedom. These stories are necessary to understand the many degrees of disparity experienced by enslaved Blacks and paint a picture of what led to their arrival to liberty.

However, the momentary ‘kindness’ he describes of his master would not stall Brown’s pregnant wife and three children from being sold away to a North Carolina plantation. This loss devastated Brown but woke him to the realities of his condition. After a few months of mourning, he knew he needed to go North.
