Southern Star

A field of groves. A small plantation on the eastern edge of Clement, Texas, lived Lauren and Judah; enslaved sisters who belonged to Stanley Hunter along with the rest of his chattel. The year was 1839 and there had been a crop failure from the cold and drought weather in the area. No sun had shined at all and the Hunter plantation did not produce income from the summer. Lauren and Judah knew that they would get sold east to New Orleans. At the time the value of those women ranged from 5000$ to about 11,000$.The girls had just lost their mother to an illness, and Stanley was willing to sell whomever with the most value to save his plantation.The only possession their mother had left was a black book that had been confiscated by Vincent the overseer.
