A slave who works with Douglass. He briefly takes Douglass in after Douglass flees Covey’s farm.

Initially, Sandy also plans to escape William Freeland’s farm with Douglass and several other slaves, but he backs out of the plan, which suggests that he may have been the one who betrayed Douglass to his master.
