Late last night, we perused a story revealing the brutal fate of Uncle Tom and Eliza's son, Harry, who was betrayed by the slave trader Haley. Faced with this news, Eliza resolutely chose to flee with her son, while Uncle Tom strangely chose to stay, willing to be **. Haley pursues Eliza's trail, but is delayed by Sam's clever calculations.
So, what kind of test will Eliza and her son face?Will Haley be able to find them?We're going to ** this gripping story together. When Eliza steps out of Uncle Tom's cabin, she is about to embark on a dangerous journey in search of freedom. Because in those days, black slaves could not enjoy personal freedom, they were only talking property in the hands of their masters. The Fugitive Slave Act even enclosed northerners and southerners, requiring the surrender of runaway slaves, and even making it illegal to facilitate escape.
Eliza ventured into the run, risky. Anyone could take them down and give them to the slave owners for payment. And in the process of fleeing, she also has to worry about her husband George, who works in a factory far away. George had told her that his master had subleased him to the factory because he had earned a lot of money for the director, so he brought him back and forced him to do the hardest, lowest, and dirtiest work, and repeatedly beat him and deliberately humiliated him. The master also forced him to marry another black slave on the estate, because the law stated that the marriage of a black slave was not protected by law and could be separated at any time.
Faced with the situation of her son being sold, Eliza also began to rebel and was determined to reunite with her husband George in Canada. At dusk, Eliza walked to the Ohio River, where the water was murky and large chunks of ice floe swirled on the water. Since the ferries on the river are no longer passable, they can only wait for the ice floe to melt. However, Haley is deliberately delayed by Mrs. Shelby, and Sam plays tricks on the way, which hinders Haley's tracking.
In the end, Eliza escaped the pursuit with incredible courage when Haley and others chased them to the river. Although the socks on her feet were torn and bloodstained, she was fearless for the sake of freedom. When Eliza successfully landed ashore, she received kind help from Mr. Simus. He directed her to a safe white house and told her that the people there would provide shelter. Eliza arrived without incident, temporarily out of pursuit.
However, this was only the beginning of the escape. Whether Eliza's mother and son can successfully escape the difficulties, and whether Haley can find them, everything will be revealed in the next story.
