How slaves were treated
Slaves were treated like dogs this was horrible because they were beaten , slept on hard rough beds (made out of straw) and were fed little amounts.
Also pregnant women were forced to work still even though they were pregnant , they would get short breaks ( 5mins) and would get straight back to work.
At the end of the day when the master went to bed you would have to clean a shoe full of cotton (the size shoe you was) until the cotton was clean then you could go to bed.
