  9. In my opinion,I think slavery was unfair and wrong because they were treated like the peoples property. Also, kids,grandmas,and all the people who could walk had to work all day. For instance, they had to pick cotton and if they stopped picking cotton they would get whipped by the boss. Lastly , the would get 2 meals a day if they got lucky . In my opinion I think slavery was unfair.

  11. In my opinion I think slavery was wrong cause they got taken away from there families and always had to work and had no equality and if I was the white people I would think how would I want to be treated.Also black should have the same rights as white and should have there independence like whites and should not have to work all day and black should also have the same equal rights as white and would get hit with a whip if the white caught them laying down and the slaves would get hurt badly.That is why in my opinion I think slavery was horrible and not right and it should be equal.

  12. I think slavery was bad for slaves and other people who worked for the overseers beacause the overseer has a wip and if you stop to take a nap or a rest then he will get you with his wip and they would sing songs to each other to let the time go by and they would work all day and night

  17. In my opinion slavery is bad because people of all ages had to work in the fields.With only two meals a day if they were lucky.They weren't just forced to work they didn't get paid and they could not vote or leave the property without permission . If you were not doing what you are supposed to you will be whipped or sold or have to face another consequence. This is why i think slavery is bad

  19. In my opinion I think that slavery was wrong because kids worked hard picking cotton balls for hours and hours. They only had a little bit of rest they only had two small meals and if the owner saw you laying down on the floor resting while working he will hurt you.That wasn't fair because they work a lot with no rest and they will hit and they don't care where or how they hit you and no matter how tired you are you can't have a break.They hit children and women and that is illegal.That is why slavery is wrong.

  20. In my opinion slavery was bad because,thousands of people had to work cotton fields all day long and people don't like doing other people work and they get tired of doing hard work or (lobar) during the day.Old people kids had to work,overseers had a thing called a whip and they would hit the African slaves with it if they don't work.And that's what i think about slavery. :) $$$

  28. In my opinion unfortunately it did not happen until after slavery had already been around 250 years ago. It did not make slavery completely illegal,though. That did not happen until 1865.
