Agenda 4-5-2017 Based on what you know about life on a plantation for African slaves, what were conditions like for slaves who worked on plantation? Get basic information on the various roles on a plantation to put in notebook. Complete Venn Diagram on the Slave codes. HW: E.Q. Sheets due April 11th, 2017. Unit 10 test April 11th, 2017.

Plantation roles Master- ran the plantation, bought and sold slaves. Mistress- Ran the household slaves, cared for ill slaves. Overseer- Managed and disciplined the field slaves.

Lived in the masters home as coach drivers, butlers and servants. Treated well by the master and hated by the field hands.

Slave Codes Laws governing the treatment and sale of slaves. On the next slide are a list of various laws from the slave codes. On your Venn Diagram if you think the law impacts the slaves put it in the right bubble. If it impacts the master put it in the left bubble. If it benefited both in the middle. When we go over each law thumbs up benefits the slave . Thumbs down benefits the master. If it benefits both hold up two fingers.
