The Life of a Single Enslaved Black American in Maine

Since Maine had no giant plantations, most enslaved people are used as personal servants or laborers in industries often like shipbuilding and fishing. There's a good chance he was born somewhere in Africa and was taken over to North America kind of during the latter stages of the Atlantic slave trade. He may have been born here and then separated from his family when he was sold as an adult or as at least like a teenager. But you see, almost a guarantee one way or the other, this guy's got some pretty intense trauma in his childhood or early life.
