Chapter 19:
The Children Sold
Summary:
Dr. Flint came back from New York with no signs of finding or gaining any
knowledge of Linda’s whereabouts. Mr. Sands tried to acquire William by buying
him, but Dr. Flint’s stubborn disposition shoots it down. Later however Dr.
Flint was tricked into selling William, Linda’s children and her aunt all to a
slave trader representing Mr. Sands. Their removal from town was faked and they
were released to Aunt Martha.
Importance:
This was important in that it was Linda’s chance to achieve the main goal of
her escape. She wanted nothing more than to have her children freed from
slavery that she risked her own life to do so.
Connection
to Theme:
Linda did not want her children to face the trials she had to endure. The years
of abuse both physically and psychologically drove her to making such a risky
approach to reaching this goal.
