Solomon Northup's Death Of A Slave

The movie was recomposed according to a real story in the year 1853, and it told about a man named Solomon Northup, who was born free in New York state. He was tricked to go to Washington, D.C by two white people, where he was kidnapped and sold into slavery in the Deep South. After having been kept in bondage for 12 years in Louisiana, Northup was able to write to his friends and family in New York, who in turn secured his release with the aid of the state.

More than 30,000 people were said to have escaped there via the network during its 20-year peak period,athough U.S. Census figures account for only 6,000. umerous fugitives' stories are documented in the 1872 book The Underground Railroad Records by William Still, an abolitionist who then headed the Philadelphia Vigilance Committee.
