If enslaved people were the happiest people on Earth, they'd have no reason to run away from their plantations. If they were really free, they wouldn't be beat for not doing enough work, and they wouldn't have to hide their families from the enslavers. They would be allowed to listen to and make music and go to Church and other places freely without being accused or beaten.

# data[].attributes.body
Enslaves were treated badly. When they got a punishment they would have to work all day.

# data[].attributes.body
Enslaved people were forced to work in their fields, which lead to many people running away to find food, water, shelter, and freedom. If they were caught running away, they'd often be faced with brutal punishments. Enslaved peoples often staged revolts to attempt to uprise against their enslavers. Many encounters between enslaved people and enslavers resulted in verbal or physical confrontations.

Why would enslaved people be happy if they are forced to do constant labor until the enslaver said they could stop, they couldn't take any breaks unless they were wounded, ill, or too young.

# data[].attributes.body
Slaves would try to run away from their enslaver. They wouldn't want to run away if they were happy.

# data[].attributes.body
The quote is wrong because why would the enslaved people want to run away and leave so badly if they were living a care-free life? Enslaved people ran away and hid to protest against their work, being whipped, and to avoid their evil enslavers.

# data[].attributes.body
The quote is untrue because slaves would often get beat and they would run away frequently, often caught but they still ran away. They never liked being enslaved, no one would, and they sometimes revolted and even killed there enslaver.

Enslaves were treated horrible, they would have to work all day, if not they where punished. Some would run away, not work, or burn things/ ruin things until they got what they wanted.

# data[].attributes.body
This quote is wrong because enslaved workers were still being stripped of their rights and treated to hard labor. Many enslaved people would be taken away from their families, if they weren't they would try to spend as much time as possible with one another. Enslaved people who wanted to escape were called freedom seekers, they did everything and anything to hide from their enslaver (including hiding in nearby towns, woods, swamps, etc.)

# data[].attributes.body
The quote is wrong because the enslaved people were being treated horribly. They were constantly being tortured by their enslaver. They would whip them and do other horrible things to them. Forcing them to do there work like pick cotton. This caused Enslaved people to run away and resist the work they were being ask to do.

# data[].attributes.body
Enslaved people had their families torn apart and they were forced to do labor or get beaten sometimes leading to death.

# data[].attributes.body
slaves were forced to pick the same amount of cotton each day if not they would be whipped

# data[].attributes.body
This quote is incorrect. Enslaved people were not happy and free, they were made to work in the fields for long hours, and if they did not adhere to the enslaver's rules, they were whipped and beaten. Enslaved people maintained their families and kept them as happy as they possibly could. This was considered a form of resistance to the enslavers because the enslavers did not want them to be even the slightest bit happy.

# data[].attributes.body
enslaved persons would hide in swamps to escape their enslaved to avoid work and to avoid being sold. When they hid in the woods they would use nature to get food, water, ect

# data[].attributes.body
The quote is wrong because why would the enslaved want to leave so bad if they were happy? Not only were the adults forced to work, but the children were as well.

# data[].attributes.body
If enslaved people were so free and happy why were they always wanting to escape the fields they worked in

With an argument that was as much a critique

of industrialism as it was a defense of slavery,

Southern spokesmen contended that chattel slavery,

as it was practiced in the American South, was more

humane than the system of “wage slavery” that

prevailed in the industrial North and Great Britain

# data[].attributes.body
If the enslaved people were happy and free, then they shouldn't've been punished by their enslavers or forced to do labor.

# data[].attributes.body
The quote is wrong because the Enslaved people were still being treated horribly and forced to hard labor, ripped away from their families or what they called a family. Freedom seekers did what they could to escape, some would run away and hid in nearby towns, woods, and swamps, just to feel free from that horrendous situation.

# data[].attributes.body
Enslaved people would stick together, as a family because of them being seperated from eachother. Family members who knew where eachother were would spend as much time possible with one another and even escape to be together.

If enslaved people are happy, then why are they trying to escape and fight back.

# data[].attributes.body
Sometimes enslaved people would get very angry with how they were treated by their enslaver so they's revolt. Sometimes they'd even kill. These revolts would strike fear into other plantations into the area. By revolting Slaves showed how strong they actually were. 🤩

# data[].attributes.body
If enslaved people were free people they would not run away but, they were treated horribly whipped and sometimes even hung.

# data[].attributes.body
The enslaved were not the happiest because why would they run? For example they constantly got beat to work all day, sneak out to get food and more. This is obviously not happy "free" life to live, anything was better than that, so they would run.

# data[].attributes.body
The quote is wrong because enslaved person would steal from their enslavers and their family to 'get back at them' for stealing them from their homeland and then stripping them away from their families. Enslaved people would also run away from their enslaver, while they were not required to work, to their families if they knew where they were. Many women would not flee as they felt they would not get far without being caught, or they found it undesirable, so they would supply people who where running away with food and supplies, and a place to go if they knew of any places.

# data[].attributes.body
The quote that you gave is wrong, because enslaved people were not happy, these enslaved people were forced to work for long periods of the day every single day, and were taken from there home with all of there family and friends. Most enslaved people would try too run and get away so they would not be beaten or even sold to a enslaver.

# data[].attributes.body
They were not treated fairly at all, they were taken away and separated from their families. Mothers had to sneak out and risk their lives just to see their own children, and the opportunity to sneak out was extremely rare. Most enslaved had to create their own kind of family because they were taken away from their own.

# data[].attributes.body
This quote is wrong because the enslaved were forced to do hard work day and night. The woman also did not do a little work, they did a lot. Many enslaved people tried to run away and seek freedom, and many revolted against enslavers. When the enslaved people didn't do something right, they were disciplined by being whipped, hanged, tied, etc.

# data[].attributes.body

I was surprised that the enslaved people would attack the overseers. This surprised me because they were often whipped and still broke the rules even knowing that they would be punished.

# data[].attributes.body
If enslaved peoples were actually happy, they would have 1) Said so 2) Wouldn't have been seeking revolt and plotting rebellion and 3) They wouldn't have been such desperate freedom seekers

# data[].attributes.body
due to unfair treatment from their overseers slaves would often get into verbal disagreements with them or they would fight their overseers to.

# data[].attributes.body
The quote is wrong because the children still had to work and people we still getting ripped away from their families. Trying to get out of work for one day and getting caught doing so would get you countless whippings from the your owners or overseers. Sometimes the enslaved people would have to get involved into confrontations so they could live. All people were forced to work no matter what age and how sick or injured they were and women also had to do plenty of work. When the children were separated from their families other enslaved people would share parenting responsibilities.

Some things are just so upsetting, Why would they risk being sick and stop doing their jobs? that they were demanding to do or else they would get hit. They hid in and out of buildings and wouldn't perform their tasks. Also, Why would people play music to engage enslaved people to steal.

# data[].attributes.body
The quote was wrong, becuase slaves were not happy, they were forced to work for a long time everyday, and were takien from there people/family. Most slaves would try to run and get from the beating or even being sold to another person.

this quote is wrong in many ways, if th saves were so happy and free why would they try to run away? people who were enslaved were beaten and hung and whipped and being demanded to pick faster. they were also sold. they were treated horribly slavery was so wrong.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
The enslaved people had to go through treacherous work and harm to get work done, in order to please the person that owns them or making them work. They got whippen, hung, and were forced to do this work till they escaped or died. But I somewhat agree with this because they only have to work, they don't have to work about taxes, or buying anything if they get food for free.

# data[].attributes.body
This quote is wrong for many reasons. one of them is many of the slaves were beaten every day if they didn't pick a certain amount of cotton. they worked in extreme and harsh weather too. but this is mainly wrong because they were fighting back. do you think your life is amazing when you're fighting to escape? I wouldn't think so.

# data[].attributes.body
The quote is wrong because the enslaved people were very unhappy as of being not treated well at all. For example, they had to stay up for hours and hours to separate cotton in the cotton fields Even though they fought back, they still have had to pay the consequences.

This quote is wrong for many reasons. If the slaves were happy they would try to run away or fight back for their lives. Another reason they were unhappy was they were taken away from their family at a very young age.

The enslaved people were treated like they were human trash.They would have to work from dusk to dawn every single day. They could not see their families even if they wanted to. For if they didn't do their work they would be beaten they could be hung or be beaten with a whip.

The quote is simply wrong because of many factors. the enslaved people were beaten and whipped day by day, forced extreme labor and over all stripped of the human rights. They fought back because they knew the consequences of dying is not worse than living the life they were living. They wanted the life a typical white person could have, a husband/wife to see every day and children.

Enslaved people were treated terribly. They worked from early in the day until late at night. They were forced to do the same, or better the day before, for if they didn't, the punishment was lashes. Enslaved people would revolt, by running away, destroying things, refusing to work until they can see their families, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
if they where living so good then why where they fighting back? so i believe the quote is wrong cause they tried running away if you had a good life you wouldn't run away.

# data[].attributes.body
The quote was incorrect in everything it said. If Southern slaves were so 'happy' then they wouldn't have tried to revolt. They wouldn't have run, or fought back in any way. The enslavers treated their workers poorly, and so did their overseers. More often than not an overseer and an enslaved person would argue and fight because whilst they resented what they had to do at all, they hated it even more when the person scolding them was not their enslaver but simply someone hired to watch them work.

# data[].attributes.body
Enslaved people were not happy at all and it was a cover up. Enslaved people were treated very poorly. They were beat until they couldn't work anymore and ran away. They escaped whippings and being sold to owners.

The enslaved people were treated horribly working long hours during the day and being beaten while in the process.

Other slaves' decision to burn down plantations as a form of resistance slowing down cotton production which caused owners to lose money.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the quote is wrong due to the fact that enslaved people were often beaten and abused by their enslaver. Enslaved people in the south were treated less than human and were whipped for anything the enslaver saw fit.

# data[].attributes.body
In some areas enslaved people would confront their enslavers about unfair treatment due to inexperienced supervisors many times this led to verbal or physical confrontations and in some plantations this happened so often that the supervisors were afraid to punish the united enslaved people.

# data[].attributes.body
Enslaved people were constantly trying to escape and stand up for what they believed in. One revolt against the enslavers consisted of 70 enslaved people who ended up killing 55 people. If this life was "so great" as it says in the quote why would so many people try to stand up and kill the people who were making them enslaved. The quote was completely wrong.

Slaves were the happiest people on the planet. This is the worst quote in the world, as slaves were forced into work and had to resist to gain some things in life. They would have to fight for retirement, the right to not work when sick. They would be beaten when masters felt they were disobedient. This quote shows they opposite of what was true about slaves. Slaves were the most unhappy things of their time and should have been set free sooner.

# data[].attributes.body
The enslaved persons in the south were treated as animals. 18 hour work days with cold food were exhausting and sometimes fatal. And not only did they work in fields they were forced to do housework as well and if these tasks weren't completed they were whipped, branded, and sometimes killed by their enslavers. They tried to fight back in multiple ways. Many enslaved people refused to work or were freedom seekers and ran away from their enslavers. Many times it proved futile and they too were usually killed in the process.
