Ex-Slave George Johnson | "Confederate President Jefferson Davis was my master."
I don't know what to think about this recording and I am interested to see your comments.
Johnson sounds like he liked Jefferson Davis as a "master." I this because its the only life Johnson knew? Because he was born a slave and believed he was less than whites? I don't know. I wasn't there with him, but the scars will not heal until we have that conversation, as a nation.
A side note: Ben Montgomery, mentioned in this recording did try to run away a few times, even though he was treated "well" by Davis.
If you have insight on this recording, please let me know.
