In Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, Douglass explains, in great detail, how slave master would use a variety of methods to dehumanize slaves located on their plantation. These methods involved both severe physical and psychological trauma. Nevertheless, Douglass remains diligent and finds a way to resist the harsh reality of being a slave.

Many kids have not been to jail or experienced the loss of a close sibling or parent, and we do not understand the difficulty of being a slave.

Slavery is the practice or system of owning Slaves. Nevertheless, there is still much to say about it and a lot of things to recall.Some of the big central ideas that I have found so far in my research are some of the ways Slaves were tortured, why was this portrayed, and what really led to this. Important insights that I have derived from my research topic include Slaves who helped other Slaves become free

Farming and building houses on plantations in extreme heat from the beating sun without water does not sound enticing to anyone with the modern technological amenities available in today's world. However, slaves all around the world were subjected to harsh treatment and grueling tasks like these throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. As a way of spreading accounts of these miserable lifestyles, slaves Frederick Douglass and Olaudah Equiano documented their horrifying experiences and published accounts of them. The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass and The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano highlight the cruelty towards slaves during the era of realism.

This is another reason of increasing population and demand for black skin slaves. The rapid increase in the slave population led to strict control, cruelty and justification to brutality. Englishman called slave the” strength and the sinews of this western world . The slave trade horrors were inconceivable. Oladah Equiano, a slave from Nigeria described some horrors of slavery the “Middle passage”. Equiano and his youngest sister were seized by raiders. They passed from one trader to another.

During this morning, while chanting “Liberty!”, the slaves went to a store and warehouse demanding weapons and killing two people there (SCNHC). This growing group of slaves were thought to have been attempting to reach St. Augustine (Britannica).

Starting from a slave’s birth, this cruel process leads to a continuous cycle of abuse, neglect, and inhumane treatment. To some extent, slave holders succeed because they keep most slaves so concerned with survival that they have no time or energy to consider freedom. This is particularly true for plantation slaves where the conditions of slave life are the most difficult and challenging.

Their plan was to capture the county armory at Jerusalem then march thirty miles to Dismal Swamp. “Two things were decided: to begin their work that night, and to begin it with a massacre so swift and irresistible as to create in a few days more terror than many battles, and so spare the need of future bloodshed.” (Higginson)
