Battle for liberation from "summary" of Autobiografía de un esclavo by Juan Francisco Manzano
The struggle for freedom has been a constant battle in my life, a relentless fight against the chains that bind me to servitude. From a young age, I was subjected to the harsh realities of slavery, forced to endure the cruelty of my masters and the dehumanization of my existence. Despite the physical and emotional pain inflicted upon me, I never lost sight of my ultimate goal: liberation. I saw freedom as a distant but attainable dream, a beacon of hope that guided me through the darkest moments of my enslavement. As I grew older, my desire for freedom only intensified, fueling my determination to break free from the shackles of oppression. I witnessed the injustices and atrocities committed against my fellow slaves, further solidifying my resolve to fight for our collective liberation. The battle for freedom was not without its challenges. I faced countless obstacles and setbacks along the way, but I refused to be deterred. I drew strength from the courage and resilience of my ancestors, who had fought for freedom long before my time. Through acts of defiance and rebellion, I sought to chip away at the foundations of slavery, to weaken the system that sought to crush our spirits and break our bodies. I knew that the road to liberation would be long and arduous, but I was willing to endure whatever hardships came my way. In the end, my perseverance paid off. I was able to secure my freedom, to break free from the chains that had bound me for so long. But the battle was far from over. I knew that true liberation could only come when all my brothers and sisters were free from the yoke of slavery. And so, I continued to fight, to advocate for the rights and freedoms of those still enslaved. The battle for liberation was not just my own; it was a collective struggle, a fight that would only end when every last slave was set free.
