Bonjour,
Réponse :
Peggy was taken from her village in Africa when she was a child.
On the plantation, the little girl and the other slaves weren’t punished by the master.
Then, she was rented to a violent mistress.
There, Peggy was whipped every day.
To escape, she was locked in a crate by two friends and she was sent to Philadelphia.
Peggy wasn’t caught by her slave owner
