Essay Instructions:

Write a 1 page letter in the voice of a Northern man or woman living during the Slave Era who has just read one of the slave narratives by an author in this module. What would he/she say to a friend or even the author him/herself? Include key points from the narrative in the letter and create a believable response from the person you have created. Is he/she moved to help the abolitionist movement? Is he/she surprised by the details of slavery included in the narrative? Consider including religious beliefs and class in your letter. Be creative and sign it with the person's name. Your name does not need to be included as this should be written in letter format. You should make sure that the reader of your letter understands who the writer is--is he/she wealthy? where does he/she live? what is his/her occupation? Feel free to play with font to make this more aunthentic.
