    About this ebook

    "Memories of Childhood's Slavery Days" by Annie L. Burton is an autobiographical account. Burton was born into slavery on a plantation near Clayton, and was later liberated in childhood by the Union Army. She has relatively pleasant and fond memories of her childhood. She was raised by her mistress after her mom escaped until she eventually returned and took her children back. Eventually, Burton learned how to read and write from her employer as she worked as a nanny. In order to broaden her education, Burton attended classes at the Franklin Evening School and, from her learning, was inspired to write her autobiographical slave narrative. Overall, the narrative's focus is mainly on the happier memories of Burton's life.
