In the middle of the 19th century America still had a forbidden industry notably called slavery. Unfortunately for this family, who had no knowledge of this type of disgraceful practice they lived peacefully in Africa, the patriarchal of his family supported them by being a herder. A livestock herder of sheep, goats, and cattle. So with this vastly different type of livestock it took large areas of land to keep. But what was so uniquely apparent is that they roamed the land. However the future events that occurred will traumatize the entire family forever.
