Mr. Tibeats is a carpenter that Northup has to make himself acquainted with throughout these chapters due to the fact that Northup's current owner sells him to Mr. Tibeats. Northup describes him as a polar opposite of Mr. Ford. Upon Northup's arrival at Mr. Tibeats residence, he once again sees Eliza who he had not seen for several months prior to this meeting. Northup begins to be treated like a "real" slave in chapter 8. Mr. Tibeats has little to no respect for Northup and works him from the crack of dawn into the later parts of dusk and even this does not satisfy him. Northup and Mr. Tibeats end up having a fight and Northup is drastically impacted by this conflict. Once again, Mr. Tibeats is not satisfied with Northup's actions and as a result he begins to curse at him. Then he goes to the overseer's shed and takes out a whip that he intends to use on Northup. Northup believes that he has in fact not done anything wrong and that Mr. Tibeats is overreacting and refuses to strip down when asked by Mr. Tibeats. When Tibeats tries to strike Northup, Northup seizes control of the situation and ends up beating Mr. Tibeats. Mr. Tibeats orders for the execution of Northup but this is not followed through due to the fact that if Northup was in fact hung, then Tibeats would lose all of the money that Mr. Ford owed him.
Northup becomes a valuable worker during these chapters. He was put to work chopping and stacking logs for Mr. Ford. Northup realizes that Ford ships his lumber at a great expense and comes up with a system of rafts to deliver the lumber by canal. In the winter of 1842, Northup is sold to John Tibeats. Tibeats is described as a "quick-tempered" carpenter, who Ford was in debt to. Tibeats was never satisfied with Northup and the other slaves work, despite working them on the longest hours. Tibeats tried to whip Northup, for a very small offense, but Northup fought back. Northup whipped Tibeat with his foot on Tibeats neck. Northup whipped until "his arm ached". Later Tibeats and two of his associates try to lynch Northup, but a friendly overseer (with pistols) saves his life by getting involved. Northup believes that Tibeats is not actually thinking about his actions. He is just letting the cold hatred of being bested control him. Still, Northup fears for his life everyday that he is with Tibeats.
After spending time on Mr. Fords plantation, Northup becomes increasingly more comfortable with his fate a slave, and wishes only that his family could accompany him on Fords plantation. He offers to himself that if only his family could be with him that he would live the rest of his life on for Ford's plantation. However, in time Northup's luck having been purchased by such a kind hearted master like Mr. Ford begins to run out. Mr. Ford having been in debt, is forced to sell Northup to his former contractor Mr. Tibeats as part of a four hundred dollar mortgage. Mr. Tibeats is considered by Northrup to be a terrible short tempered and angry man when compared to Mr. Ford.
On his first day on Mr. Tibeats plantation, Northup finds himself in a great conflict with Mr. Tibeats over the size of the fasteners that he procured in order to install the clapboard on the sides of the new mill building. Mr. Tibeats is unable to control his rage in the situation and wishes to whip Northup for his insensibility about the size of the fasteners (the only size that were available at the time). Northup justifiably refuses the punishment, and instead wrestles the whip from Tibeats and uses it to whip him instead. After, receiving a beating from Northrup, Tibeats leaves the farm to fetch two of his friends to help him hang Northrup. Fortunately just before Northup is to be hung, Chapin, the overseer of the plantation comes out of the house with two pistoles and insists that Northup be saved, and that the only person at fault is Tibeats himself. Northup's bitter encounter with Tibeats makes him ponder the idea of escape much more seriously, however, he is advised by several other people on the plantation not to attempt any sort of escape. Northup's intelligence, honesty and likability has kept him alive thus far in his life as a slave, however his inability to control his anger toward Mr. Tibeats shows that he has become less accepting of his fait as a slave since he left Mr. Ford's plantation.
During this section of the book, Northup becomes familiar with a man named Mr. Tibeats. Mr. Tibeats is a spiteful carpenter that Northup meets at Ford's residence in autumn and he is later sold to Mr. Tibeats in late 1842. Northup is sold to Mr. Tibeats after Mr. Ford becomes indebted to Tibeats and others, and is forced to get rid of 18 slaves to raise some money.
After Northup was under Tibeats' control for a short period of time, he realized that Mr. Tibeats was never satisfied with the work that his slaves put in or the profits he made from their labors. Northup was beaten excessively and constantly cursed at by Tibeats. One day, while the slaves were building the weaving-house, under the watchful eye of their master, Tibeats began voicing his dissatisfaction with every detail of Northup's work. Tibeats left and came back with a whip, with the intention of beating Northup. The opposite occurred. Northup held down Tibeats' neck with his foot and whipped him until his right arm became sore. This was a very risky, and punishable by death action that Northup took. For the rest of the time that Northup is Tibeats' slave, Northup fears for his safety and well being because Tibeats ordered for him to be hung, but never followed through with the plan.
John M. Tibeats was a carpenter who was hired by Northup’s master, Mr. Ford, to do work on his house. Northup was assigned to assist Tibeats in this matter, and grew to dislike Tibeats very much. Tibeats was ignorant and quick tempered. William Ford became indebted to Tibeats and ended up having to sell Northup to him for this reason, and for the fact that Northup had skills as a carpenter. Northup labored extremely hard for Tibeats and was allowed no time for rest. He was constantly being criticized and cursed at by Tibeats despite his efforts to be a faithful slave.
After completing the corn mill and kitchen Tibeats was up working in the weaving-house when an event occurred that would drastically impact Northup’s life. This event was State punishable by death. Tibeats came to inspect what Northup was working on and grew furious. Northup didn’t do anything wrong, but Tibeats was still angry and lashed out so he went to get a whip. Northup’s feelings went from fear to anger. Tibeats came back and told Northup to strip, but Northup refused. Tibeats then tried to whip Northup, but Northup overcame him and seized the whip and began beating Tibeats. After this occurred, Northup was advised by Chapin to not leave the plantation. Tibeats along with two friends try to execute Northup, but Northup’s saved by Chapin. This event impacts Northup by showing his defiance, and this also has an important effect on Tibeats because of that reason.

Ford, after he receives message of the incident, goes to save Solomon. Solomon is saved by Ford and is allowed to sleep on the floor in Ford's house, to ensure safety.
