Rose Davis is sentenced to a life of slavery, 1715
This document or artifact was about Rose Davis and her life long lock to slavery. She tried to go to court and fight it but got her life sentence to slavery. What happened to her is really disturbing. I'll say it again people are awful to one another.

She therefore humbly prays the benefit by Law allowed to those in her unhappy circumstances and that she may accordingly receive a free manumission from the said servitude which hanscribed evidence mentioned in the petition follows in the words vizt.
It's intriguing that no matter the year, time, bad, good or maybe not a believer of god, we tend to pray. No matter people always got to look up to a higher power. No matter what happened to her she stayed strong. She didn't even wish the people who did this bad days. Her heart was stronger than metal.

Rose a mulatto petition against Henry Darnall about her freedom consideration referred until next Court.
This is something that is Ludacris to me .She petition the court for her freedom, and got denied. I can't get passed the fact how people can be so cruel. She got pushed back to the end of the line like when people cut in line. I can't imagine how hard her life was.
