Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl

It is important that this book is fact and not fiction because fact is more real and believable. The fact that the events in the book are real makes it easier for people to make a real connection. It appeals to people's emotions with real facts. Many people would expect for a slave to write in the type of language used and that just reinforces credibility. If it was edited, there could also have been some question on whether the content was modified. Just like “What to the Slave is the Forth of July?” which was from the viewpoint of a slave, it gives an inside look.
