Source for midterm paper

For my midterm paper, I am using a slave narrative titled "Louisa Picquet, the Octoroon". It is about a woman who escapes slavery in South Carolina and Alabama, and it is written as a standard slave narrative except that Louisa herself was illiterate so did not write the book. I am looking specifically at the last chapter, in which the author lays out three main ideas to take away from the narrative, and implores the reader to speak and act out against slavery.
