Slave Narratives (Blog 1)
Before Reading: I know the slavery was a time in which segregation existed and controled the way people lived and treated one another due to color. The white people were more superior than the black people because, the while people (especially) in the south saw the black people as slaves. Black Slaves were treated as animals and were only seen as a way to double their crop profit. In a reading on the topic of Fredrick Douglass that we did in class, it stated that black people were given a certain amount of clothes in which was not much. They had to maintain the clothes given to them until they were given more clothes. Furthermore, the article stated that children ran around sometimes with just a shirt or or just naked. I found this very suprised and wrong because, it made me realize the conditions that slaves lived in during the period of slavery. I am looking foward to enrich my knowledge upon slavery by reading the following Slave Narratives. I hope to learn more about slavery through the eyes of people who lived it other than people who just seen or heard of it.
