Twelve Years a Slave is the true story of Solomon Northup, a free-born black man in New York State who was sold into slavery after being tricked in 1841. Unable to convince anyone he is not a slave, Solomon spent twelve years in bondage before finally being set free.

Northup’s memoir, recounting details of the slave markets and the harsh life on plantations, was used in the struggle to abolish slavery in the United States.
