The beginning of chapter twelve was 'interesting' to me. I say it in quotes because it's a horrible thing that happened but it's something that shows how horrible it was to be in the south as a colored person. People in the north didn't know what horrible atrocities were going on and they thought that there were some people of color living happily down there. This story shows the honest brutality of the South and how horrible whites were to them. Not even the people of color that wern't owned as property were beaten up and tortured horribly just because that day had a name put to it. It was called a muster and the whites would just run rampid around beating up any person of color that looked to be happy or with another person of color. It's a horrible thing that happened but also it shows the true horrors of the south.
