That's something modern history censors completely: actual stories from the slaves themselves.
Some were treated well and loved their lives. Others were just treated as breeding stock. A lot of it was down to the particular states and territories.
The books of folk songs put together by Alan Lomax has a lot of interviews with former slaves, and some of them speak very highly of that period of their lives.
It's certainly no worse than debt slavery in a culture whose family life has been obliterated and where gangs fulfill the role of father.
Well said. Jesse Lee Peterson grew up in that era and worked on a cotton farm. He speaks well of his experience and those at that time.
Slavery still exists today.
Every single person beholden to the Western Worlds financial sophistry is a slave, and owns nothing.
Those free of it, however..
We all is slaves to the banksters - every man jack one of us. Those young males KIA in our foreign wars were the skillet blackest of all.
