Northup, a black man who was born free in New York, details his kidnapping in Washington, D.C. and subsequent sale into slavery.

Northup's account provides extensive details on the slave markets in Washington, D.C. and New Orleans and describes at length cotton and sugar cultivation on major plantations in Louisiana.
