I am Jeremiah Jenkins 15-year-old Drummer for the confederate army. Orville Bush owns me but Orville saw my drumming skills on the plantation and sold me to the confederate army. I was a self taught drummer it always seemed to come naturally to me when I was six my father ( a craftsman ) made me to wooden sticks to play with I have never let those sticks out of my site. My hero is Ulysses S Grant leader of the Union army. I plan to switch sides in a battle and the North defeats the confederate army and bring my family to freedom. My birthday is 6/8/1848 I have never been out of Alabama where my plantation is. My family is full of hard workers. My brother has suffered more in his five year old life than he should have had to his whole life. I will help end slavery and when I’m free I’m going to be an author, and be in a band because these are the goals I would achieve if I weren’t in these chains.
