The And The African Chief By Sarah Wentworth Morton

Conditions were especially bad for African Americans like Equiano, who wasn’t seen as a human due to the color of his skin. He was treated poorly by not only the whites but as well as other Africans. His own people were the ones who took him and forced him to be a slave. He and other slaves were whipped, beaten, and only given enough food to still survive, which was very little. Equiano had it the worst, he was ripped away from his family and tortured for no good reason. Mary Rowlandson was somewhat the same story of being taken and separated from her family, this causing a lot of emotional damage, but her captors didn’t physically abuse her. Her captors being the Native Americans, who took Rowlandson as an American hostage. They treated her relatively well and the only physical suffering for her was lack of food, but not even the indians had a lot of food due to low supply of crops. On the completely other side of the spectrum, William Bradford and the others who first came to america with him, basically ‘tortured’ themselves. They did this by not arriving prepared when landing on this new land. Expecting a warm welcome from people who already lived there, shelters already made, and a plethora of food, and to their surprise none of those things were there for them. They did not bring many resources that would help them succeed in making a new colony, and really were quite

Slaves were not well cared for. They received the bare minimum for food, clothing, and sleeping arrangements. For example, where Frederick Douglass was a slave: “The men and woman slaves received, as

Slaves were used to do chores around the house, watch children, as well as clean and cook. At this time most of the slaves weren’t native rather they were from West Africa. Since the slaves were from a different part of the world and had a much different lifestyle (culture) than the Americans did, white people always made sure to keep a close eye on the slaves, almost as if they were afraid of their own black slaves, matter of fact they probably were. The whites seemed to be so afraid of them that they put bans on West African cultural practices, such as night burials, group gatherings, and the purchase of

The slaves were treated absolutely malevolently by the Europeans without any respect or thought towards them. Often without hesitation, the men tortured and abused the slaves. For example, commanders often cut off the legs and arms of defiant slaves to prevent them for trying to rebel, as well as to terrify the rest of the slaves, as shown by Document 2. It is truly terrible that people felt that it was necessary to sever the limbs of the poor slaves. The ones that had to suffer this were ultimately disadvantaged for the rest of their lives because of this. In Document 3, it was discussed that the slaves had to suffer terrible conditions such as small, cramped areas with barely enough room to breathe. It also said in Document 4 that many of

The first argument that I have to prove that working in plantation is hard is the living condition the workers had to go through. In addition to that is the house that the they had to live in was a small “10ft by 10ft house” (Source #1) if you were unmarried and working at the plantation you would have to be put in a room with 40 other married guys, having to sleep on a “2ft wide board with sometimes just a dirt floor”(Source #2). Some other problems of the small house is the families that had to live their with children, trying to make the children’s live as normal as possible. Not only they had to live in a very small house they had to deal with the

Frederick Douglass, author of Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: An American Slave, illustrates an emotional and extremely tragic story that describes the struggles of a slave Pre-Civil War in the South. Douglass writes with the sole purpose of showing the truth about slavery and how inhumane the slaves were treated. The slaves treated like animals and fed even worse than animals. Throughout Douglass’ narrative, he uses blunt diction to express how serious the situation is, figurative language to convey imagery to make it more emotional, and ethos numerously to make the story more credible in the hopes of abolishing slavery.

The slashing , Putting runaways to death, The burning screaming that could pierce through your soul and heart. This was how African americans were treated They were forced to work day in and day out until their limbs were falling apart and there was no will to live.

Enslaved people were treated extremely harshly by Southern slave owners. Slaves were instructed to do heavy labor, and if they did not worth to their maximum ability they were cruelly treated with whippings, beatings, and they were sometimes even maimed. Slaves barely had enough food, clothing, and shelter to get through

Edwards uses imagery as a way to frighten his audience back into the pious ways of the Puritans. He uses darkly connotated words to vividly describe hell and the torment that it brings to appeal to the audience's emotions and senses. When referring to God sending the sinners to hell, there is a great deal dark images drawn in the readers mind to help them picture what they are doomed to. "God has so many different, unsearchable ways of taking wicked men out of the world and sending 'em to hell, that there is nothing to make it

The treatment slaves had to involuntarily endure

The slaves, on the other hand, were treated very badly. They were taken away from their homes and forced over to America in ships to work on plantations and for colonists. According to History.com, “Slavery in America began when the first African slaves were brought to the North

Slaves never knew what life was going tobe like once they were purchased. This type of mental torture stopped them from becoming comfortable in their surroundings. Not only were slaves sold like livestock, they were also fed that way. They were never given the resources needed to develop any reading or writing skills. Information and education was withheld to remind them they are not

Slavery was very much uncivilized. It was a cruel way to show how rich people were. Rich people would buy slaves so that the slaves would do all rot work for them... Saves did the washing, ironing and cooking and all the housework that had to be done... The slaves sometimes had to educate the children in the family, and work on farm to grow food for the family. The poor slaves wouldn't even get paid for the hard
