The Civil war is finally over. Slaves are no longer
slaves, they are ex-slaves.What am I supposed to
do now?I used to be an overseer, but now I am
nothing. During the war, I looked back at
everything I did and I really regret what I did. I
don't want to be the "bad guy" anymore. I realized
that I was such a horrible person towards the
African Americans.The one thing i will always
remember is when a slave yelled "put yourself in
our shoes!"



After remembering what that slave told me I
haven't thought about slavery the same.I regret
everything i did so much I cant live with
myself.I recently talked with my family and I
have a plan. A plan where I can try to reverse
everything I did as an overseer.
My plan is to help an ex slave. What I'm
going to do is provide and help as much as I
can with all slaves, but with one slave in
particular I am going to let them stay in my
house.

With the ex-slave living in my house I want
them to feel safe. I want them to be able to
experience something they haven`t done
before. For example, They are going to eat
with us, talk to us normally, and more. I
honestly just want them to feel like their
lives have changed because it has they
aren't slaves anymore they are free people.

You may be asking how will I find an ex slave.
Well, I have a specific one in mind ans I hope I
can find her.She is only 12 years old and her
name is Ioni. I decided that i wanted to take
her in because i hurt her the most. She is very
jumpy and always nervous and it is because of
me.I killed her what was left of her family which
was her brother in front of her. I also whipped
her a lot she has scars all over her back. I cant
believe that I did such a thing to a little girl.I
want her to grow up happy and live a good life.

I am determined to find her.The next morning I
go back to the old plantation to see if she was
there.I go a couple miles ahead and I spot her
running. "Ioni!, Ioni! come here I want to help
you." "How are you gonna help me if u was the
who used to whip me"she retorts. "Come live
with me and my family we want to help you and
other freed slaves."She finally agrees.
I take her to my house so I can introduce
her to my family.When I come to introduce her,
she runs and locks herself into a room.

Of course it had to be her room.Later, she
started to open up more to my family. Seeing
how happy she was when we gave her
attention,I knew right then and there that I was
glad with the decision I made.
