Many slaves granted the wish to become free and go to the north. Linda finally managed to become free after going to the north. However, she was not automatically freed as soon as she stepped in the north. Still there were some slave ownership in the north. Linda had to be bought by the second Mrs. Bruce and then set free. Mrs. Bruce was the lady whom Linda worked for who lived up north in New York.
Linda has mixed emotions about her freedom, being that she had to also be bought even though she was in the north. She did not quite understand that fact that she had to be brought then freed since she was already in a “free” state, New York. Linda was afraid that she would be brought by another person, a slave owner, while in the north because she thought slavery was just about a process of different slave owners buying slaves and then selling then buying other slaves then selling them.
