due to anger many slaves went against their overseer sometimes even murdering them. this didn't end well on their part because they would often be executed or punished in extreme ways. So for example, when a slave wasn't able to do its task he was brutally attacked till he had enough and killed the overseer. this did not end well for him as he was executed too.

Black drivers were black people who were still beaten but had some privilages. They were assigned to keep slaves working and not letting them stop

# data[].attributes.body
the role of the black drivers were to maintain the slaves and keep them in position by having to punish them to get them to work efficiently. this doesn't mean that they were punished either. if the driver does not do his job correctly they would be punished as well. they were able to have a few privileges like delivering the food and having time to eat it

# data[].attributes.body
The role of black "drivers" were to bring slaves who may have too exhausted to work to put them back to work.

# data[].attributes.body
The black drivers are under the overseer. They are black man and they have to whip their people. If they were to not use the whip enough they would have to get whipped themselves. They get treated a little better then the slaves.

# data[].attributes.body
Black "drivers" were people who have a bit more privilege than normal slaves but were still beaten. They also watch and maintain the slaves while they do their tasks.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is important because there were not many accounts from the perspective of slaves/free men turned slaves and it is important to be aware of the horrific things that they went through, via reading a work by someone who actually went through it.

# data[].attributes.body
It is important because it shows the people working there and what jobs there were in the planatations.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Northup's story is so important because he is letting us know details that we may not have known and telling us a little more of what it was like on the "inside".

# data[].attributes.body
the reason why I believe Northup's story is so important is because it is an honest and true perspective of a situation from someone who is literate enough to know that this goes against human nature and society. With his story it gives slaves a chance to become free because people will trust him for his knowledge and comprehension unlike a slave that wasn't brought up like majority of people are.

# data[].attributes.body
The role of the black driver was to make sure the slaves are doing their works and they follow orders of the overseer. They have to whip their people and if they weren't able to, then they have to get whipped as well. The black drivers had few privileges that other slaves like delivering food, having time to eat.

# data[].attributes.body
Northup's Story is important because it gives us more ideas about what its like to work at a plantation and the storys related to it.

There was that this guy was called to an account, but the and he was ordered to kneel and bare his back for the reception of the lash. They were in the woods alone-beyond the reach of sight orhearing. The boy submitted until maddened at such injustice, and insane with pain, he sprang to his feet, and seizing an axe and chopped the overseer in pieces.

They also had to perform their normal tasks such as taking care of the crops and such in the plantation. If they failed to keep the other slaves in check they themselves were whipped.
