About this record
These three newspaper clippings contain interviews with three former slaves who later settled in Wisconsin. Hattie Pierce and John McClure were born as slaves in No. Carolina and Kentucky, respectively, and eventually came to Madison. Sarah Anthony was born in Tennessee and later settled in Racine, Wis. These brief articles discuss how the elderly ex-slaves felt about their childhoods under slavery, liberation during the Civil War, and their later lives in the North.Citation
