In Chapter 18, the narrator moves from Edward Covey to William Freeland, where fairer treatment and close friendships strengthen his desire for freedom rather than contentment with slavery. He builds a secret reading school, condemns religious slaveholders’ cruelty, and explains how holiday drinking helps masters control enslaved people.
