slavery summary
Elizabeth Sprigs was an indentured maiden who sailed to America
from Europe to start anew. While servicing her time as a maid she
suffered terribly due to the hard conditions she was exposed to, which
forced her to write home to her father. Persuading him to send her
some necessary items like dresses, undergarments, and shoes. In her
letter to her father, she seemed to be shameful and asking for
forgiveness for something that possibly occurred back home in England
which resulted in her moving to America. I assume she was exiled from
her home for disobeying her father, it could be wanting to venture out
to see the New World. It was a shared interest amongst young adults
who lived in England during the 1700s and mildly in the 1800s, that
were living in less than desirable conditions during the Old World.
