" They did not march far: less than a mile, to this valley. They called it Augustown, as if the place itself were the freedom they had just received, but time would teach them disappointment. This place was no freedom, and Massa Day was not done. Massa had only changed his name. He was no longer ‘Busha’ or ‘Buckra’ or ‘Massa’. He was now ‘Boss’ or ‘Miss’ or ‘Sergeant’. Sometimes Massa even changed his skin from white to black, making this whole freedom thing complicated. "
