In 1841, a free African-American man named Solomon Northup was kidnapped and forced into slavery. For twelve long years he was forced to toil on the plantations of the South, and sold to multiple owners under a false name. This is his story, from his capture to his rescue, of both the abuse and kindness that Northup faced as a southern slave in nineteenth century America.
