Chloe Cooley was a enslave in upper Canada, she was born in 1759 and passed away on January 21, 1831. Her owner was, Sergeant Adam Vrooman, he forcibly tied Chloe to a boat, She refused to get on the boat, so Sergeant Adam Vrooman had to get two other white men to tie her down and make sure she never escaped the boat. When they reached the U.S.A where she was going to be sold, a free black man heard her screams and reported it to Lieutenant-Governor. After she got sold she was beat and forced to work day and night and she was never seen again.
The brutality of slavery is something we should never forget.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very sad story, and unfortunately, a common story during the times of slavery.
