What would it be like?

Daily Life: Slave Provided shelter Given enough to eat Provided shelter Could get access to better if job was in the main house Could often be sold without warning Not uncommon for the master to father children with the slaves who would then become slaves Crop work long and dangerous including poisonous animals like snakes – or cold and tedious like in Canadian Farms Brutal punishments like whipping, withholding of food, locking in cages with no access to food or water, tied to a tree in the sun… Day started early and ended late Work decided by a quota – punishments if they were not met

Daily Life: Owner Houses made of brick or stone Small farmers lived mostly hand to mouth with help from neighbours Some were rich and lived mostly for recreation Church meetings like picnics or socials were major events Clothing depended on your level of society and was often colourful and decorated with flowers or ribbons on Sundays Long work days but plenty of recreational opportunities for the average person

The Price of Freedom? freed by their owners to honor a pledge, to grant a reward, or, before the 1700s, to fulfill a servitude agreement bought by Quakers, Methodists, and religious activists for the sole purpose of freeing them (a practice soon banned in the southern states) ran away to free territory "self-purchase“ purchasing their own relatives turning 25 in Canada after 1763 living in Canada after 1834 living in the US after 1865

Slave Culture What was the difference between Thomas Jefferson and Jupiter? What did both Jefferson and Jupiter have to learn? When did the work of a slave end? What sorts of punishment could a slave expect? Who was a slave child expected to obey more – his master or his mother? How could a slave rebel? How could slaves negotiate? What was the importance of African religion and tradition? How do we see the mix of “American” and “African” culture? What was different in the dating of Jefferson and the dating of Jupiter? What was the centre of family life for the slave? A slave having a family was a wonderful and painful thing for them. Why?
