Mary Prince says of England that “few people in England know what slavery is. I have been a slave—I have felt what a slave feels, and I know what a slave knows; and I would have all the good people in England to know it too, that they may break our chains, and set us free” (Prince, The History of Mary Prince). She moves from the West Indies to England in 1828 with her masters and is technically freed, according to English law. The country represents for her freedom.

Also known as the Sunken Forest, Cantre'r Gwaelod is the subject of one of Wales's best-known folk tales. The legend says it is the gate to a former fertile land of 16 cities that are now covered by the sea in the Cardigan Bay. The legend has inspired many poems and songs. It is thought that the story came to be because of flooding that happened in the area between 17,000 and 7,000 years ago due to Ice caps melting in northern Europe and North America. The stories of this flooding were passed down from generation to generation, eventually becoming folklore.

The West Indies is a subregion of North America that includes all the islands in the Antilles, the Bahamas, and Turks and Caicos. For many years, the region was heavily colonized by France, Britain, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Spain. The land of the West Indies was found to be highly cultivable and many large plantations were started by colonizers, run almost entirely on slave labor. Today the territories are now independent states, except for 5 territories that remain under British control.
