HOUSE SLAVES
April 16, 2012
House slaves were better than field slaves. House slaves had better food, garments. However, it depended how good their master were. Usually, masters were miserable and without feeling forward slaves. Slaves used to live like animals. Their bodies smell bad because they didn’t take shower or dressing every day. Sometimes, slaves didn’t have anything to eat, or maybe something that their masters gave them. Some masters preferred throw food or spit in all the rest of food to make sure that slaves could not take it. Slaves always were exposed to listen between them whims and desires; house slaves were inhabited between various families. Slaves sleep on the ground, or with old rugs. When it was summer their odor were stronger than winter.The environment was stinking, but slaves were accustomed. When slaves were working for many years and were good workers, master always used to say them than they will be free before their master died. It never happened. Slaves who were hard workers also lived close to their masters, and were treated better than others slaves. Slaves usually lived in deplorable conditions, but slaves couldn’t do anything for improving because only masters have decisions the way that slaves have to live.
