During work and outside of it, slaves suffered physical abuse, since the government allowed it. Treatment was usually harsher on large plantations, which were often managed by overseers and owned by absentee slaveholders. Small slaveholders worked together with their slaves and sometimes treated them more humanely.

“Being vegan is easy. Are there social pressures that encourage you to continue to eat, wear, and use animal products? Of course there are. But in a patriarchal, racist, homophobic, and ableist society, there are social pressures to participate and engage in sexism, racism, homophobia, and ableism. At some point, you have to decide who you are and what matters morally to you. And once you decide that you regard victimizing vulnerable nonhumans is not morally acceptable, it is easy to go and stay vegan”
― Gary L. Francione

Songs were used in everyday life by African slaves. Singing was tradition brought from Africa by the first slaves; sometimes their songs are called spirituals. Singing served many purposes such as providing repetitive rhythm for repetitive manual work, inspiration and motivation. Singing was also use to express their values and solidarity with each other and during celebrations. Songs were used as tools to remember and communicate since the majority of slaves could not read. This song was made too show other slaves that one slave was planning too escape. This song was made too show other slaves that one slave was planning too escape.

“To be given dominion over another is a hard thing; to wrest dominion over another is a wrong thing; to give dominion of yourself to another is a wicked thing.”
― Toni Morrison, A Mercy

When you have the power to control someone, it can sometimes be hard too deal with. Too believe you have dominion over someone is wrong, and too give yourself dominion over someone is terrible

The Cotton Belt is a region of the southern united states where cotton was th cash crop from the late 18th century into the 20th century.Before the invention of the cotton gin in 1793, cotton production was limited to coastal plain areas of South Carolina and Georgia, and, on a smaller scale, along the lower Mississippi River. The cotton gin allowed processing of short-staple cotton, which could be grown in the upland regions of the Deep South. The demand by European Americans for land to develop for upland cotton drove the removal of African american tribes from the Southeast after 1830. The central part of this area, extending into Texas, became known as the black belt for the fertility of the soil and later the high proportion of slave population.

Before Eli Whitney's invention of the cotton gin, picking and cleaning cotton was a slow, labor-intensive job. Workers, usually slaves, had to pick the seeds from the cotton fibers by hand. This invention made it possible to grow large amounts of cotton on big farms and make money.
