They managed the slaves in the plantations. They can whip slaves for many reasons: not working hard enough, showing up late, attempt to run away, etc. They punishments were very cruel.
I wrote this because it is important to know why they got mistreated and by who while they were working

They worked from sunup (4 am) to sundown (10 pm), which left them 5 or 6 hours of sleep. The slaves feared that they would not get up the next morning, they feared the next day of harsh work. In addition, they would sleep in a cabin with leaky roofs, drafty walls and dirty floors. Most of the time, the beds were hay laid on the floor, which left the slaves with no privacy.

a slave is an unfortunate person. These people are, in this case black, taken from their families to work for someone. These people are treated very badly. They are constantly abused and mistreated.

How slavery works is the following; first, the overseers take you away from your home, from your family, from your freedom next they take you some place to sell you for money and take you to most of the time a different country. That trip takes a very long time and you are crammed in the bottom of a ship, living in the horrible stench of urine and you are barely fead. You aren't even at the plantation yet, this is just the terrifying beginning.

Runaway slaves traveled in water to hide their scent because dogs can't detect their smell in the water. They followed the North Star which indicated the way to Canada. If it was cloudy and the North Star could not be seen, they would look for moss growing on trees because it only grows on the north side of them.

Most slaves worked on a plantation. A plantation is a farm that grows cash crops. They worked up to 18 hours a day, exposed to the powerful rays of the sun. With only a small meal a day, the slaves where being tortured and starved. Remember that they're not being payed of something, they're forced to do this and if they protest, only the worst will happen.

Human branding is the process which a mark, usually a symbol, is burned into the skin of a living person, with the intention that the resulting scar makes it permanent. This is performed using a hot or very cold branding iron. It therefore uses the physical techniques of livestock branding on a human, either with consent as a form of a punishment or to identify an enslaved person.

I remember that civil war was caused by mostly slavery and the conflicts behind it. When Lincoln was voted president, he stated that slavery shouldn't be allowed to spread to new territories. The south was against that and rebelled against the country, and elected their own president. That caused a civil war

I remember that in the video they said that the war was basically caused by slavery. I also remember Abraham Lincoln was the one who thought that slavery is wrong. The north and south had a war because of the thought that slavery should be banned.

The North was very wealthy and the economy was very good. The South depended almost uniquely on coton. Since they didn't want to do the work themselves, they had salves who did the work for them without pay. Lincoln was elected and he wanted to put a halt to slavery. The South weren't happy, so one by one, they decided to leave the Confederation. After a lot of tensions between the two sides, they was an attack which started the Civil War in 1861.
