Who is Abdul Rahman, the Prince Among Slaves

Stripped from his nobility
This explains how Abdul Rahman was a descendant of a Islamic king from Africa.One day, he was taken to sea by a rival tribe, and left his wife and son behind and became a slave. Abdul came from an urban area that thought of themselves superior of others; including their long hair that signified their nobility. When he was taken to sea, he was brought to the U.S. There, his hair was cut off he, and was sold along with another slave to a man named Thomas Foster. Abdul would no longer a Prince.
Untold with a powerful decision
After being a slave for a long period of time, now Abdul was assigned to over see his masters plantation. Abdul had also gained a new family.  Later, Abdul wanted to send a latter home, and soon his letter would be published by Andrew Marschalk. Eventually thought  differently about the plantation. If Abdul wanted freedom he'd have to leave the U.S. This was a powerful decision because he would leave a family behind if he wanted to be free.
Something Unforgiveable
Abdul went north and surprising received help from president John Quincy Adams to purchase his kids freedom. This was the first time he was in a place with no slaves. The president didn't know that Abdul wasn't from Morocco. Fortunately, while Abdul was in the north, he was able to work with American Colonization Society (people who help black slaves). Abdul still had to think about the consequences he would face. If he were to go back to Arica, he'd leave his children behind.
Everything happens for a reason
Although, Abdul returned to Africa with his wife and without his children, later his family were reunited. It was his dream for his family to be together. As well, Abdul believed that "everything happened for a reason. For instance, when he became a slave and ran away, he stopped himself because he had no where to go. Abdul reminded himself that sometimes things happened for a specific cause. In addition when a man named John Cox recognized him, even though Cox told Abdul's master he was a king, Abdul still was enslaved. John Cox was a man he knew because he stayed with Abdul in Timbuktu. The reason he was still a slave was because it wasn't his time to be freed ( later on in life he was suppose to be freed).
