Buffalo, New York is just right for me; it is far enough North and provided an environment that is relatively nurturing to progressive ideas such as abolitionism and women's rights which I hope to become to be involved in. With freedom on my side, hopefully I am able to draw on my twenty years experience as a slave - where I witnessed slavery in all its ugliest aspects - along with progressive, northern thinking to involve myself in the abolition movement. I am married now and have started a family. Buffalo will be a good place to settle down.
