This text covers a swath of antebellum history and the lives of the unfortunate human beings enslaved by John Randolph, which hang in the balance. There is no justice there is no free freedom for many of them. Decades go by before any of them get even a modicum of what they had coming to them. I don’t really recommend you read this unless you want a long sorta narrative version of a wikipedia article. I recommend that you read the Wikipedia article on John Randolph.
