Explanation:

Twelve Years a Slave is the memoir of Solomon Northup, a free dark man who was grabbed and sold into subjection. Distributed in 1853, that year in which he was freed, it covers his twelve years in slavery.  

Northup describes his life starting in New York, building up his inception and his status as a liberated individual dwelling in the North with his family. He at that point shares the subtleties encompassing his capturing and encounters inside the slave advertise, and the ensuing long stretches of bondage and subjugation he suffers until he steps onto free soil again twelve years after the fact. Through his account of situation, Northup depicts the day by day interactions between him, different slaves, and the different bosses he works under, just as explicit and broad learning of farming practices and southern traditions – revealing more insight into servitude than any course reading can.
