Can you imagine what life was like for black African Americans? They had to follow laws the whites did not have to like they were not allowed to own weapons. They got whipped if they did something wrong or if they were off task. They also had to work into the dark, cold night. How would you like working like that?
Slaves at WorkHow long did the slaves work into the night? What did they do? How did they do their work?
Slave Laws and AuctionsHow would you like being bought and sold like furniture to different plantations and being separated from your loving family? This is what slaves had to do. What laws did they have to follow?
Underground RailroadSome whites who thought slavery was wrong put wax candles in their windowsill so the slaves knew it was alright to go to their house and hide from people who might be after them to return them back into slaves. They did this at sunrise. At night they would travel to their destination. But what if they got caught? |
