"The Anti-Slavery Examiner, Part 3 of 4" by the American Anti-Slavery Society is a historical account written in the mid-19th century that sheds light on the atrocities of slavery in the United States. This work aims to provide a compelling and analytical perspective on the brutal realities faced by enslaved individuals, using testimonies from eyewitnesses, including slaveholders and those who have lived among slaves, to document the inhumane conditions and treatment they endured. The opening of the work introduces powerful testimonies detailing the daily lives of enslaved individuals, emphasizing the pervasive cruelty and exploitation they faced. It begins with a series of personal narratives and facts drawn from observations by individuals like Nehemiah Caulkins, who recount harrowing incidents of violence, starvation, and psychological torment inflicted by slaveholders and overseers. Caulkins describes the severe punishments meted out for minor infractions, the inadequate food and clothing provided, and the deplorable living conditions of the slave cabins. This portion of the text serves as a poignant indictment against the institution of slavery, aiming to awaken the moral conscience of its readers and support the abolitionist cause.
