Those things that look like Fs are actually Ss if hard to read!

Which is why I laughed when some people make comments about "proper" English. Like, ...go back 300 years and try to have a conversation with an English speaker. They'd be about as effective a highschooler who took one year of Spanish.

Even after NJ became a free state a lot of people supported slavery. Newark produced a lot of goods that benefited from it. They made leather goods like saddles that the south bought, and I think they processed fabric made from cotton, so they still benefited from the labor. I forget exactly the details, but I remember reading something about protests to the war when they began recruitment.

And uncaught almost three years after he freed himself. An "arch fellow" indeed. Hope he lived out his years in peace and freedom.
