I had heard more rumors of slavery in the South and was suprised not to have seen so much on the plantations. I am glad to see this because I believe as a puritan that we should try and make ourselves pure and live our lives as Jesus Christ did.

My fourth day
Today was my fourth day. I decided to give my cousin William and his family a break and went out to explore the city of Raleigh, Virginia. I noticed a larger amount of African and West Indians around the city and was surprised to learn that they were not slaves and that many of them worked as indentured servants across the tobacco plantations across Virginina.
