Research Paper On Amelia Martin

Amelia Martin, is like many other young people who have angry parents. She wishes they would talk, laugh, and share good times together as they did in the past. In Amelia's mind, her family's tension and disagreement between the northern and southern states the abolitionists and the slave-holders. In many ways, the slavery issue is the cause of her family's problems.
Amelia's father had been a ship's captain. As an abolitionist, he harbored the leader of a slave rebellion. When the rebel slave was discovered on the ship, Mr. Martin was removed for his position. Now he is an assistant lighthouse keeper on Fenwick Island, off the coast of Delaware. Amelia's mother blames her husband for their living conditions, which she says are killing her.
