Life as a Slave
Work on the Plantation farm
The guy was seven
He was looked after a cruel women
If he did the slightest thing wrong he would get no food
He worked on a cotton plantation
He only got meat and bread
He got whipped a lot
The women bought 100 men and women slaves, and had them dig wholes, whilst being naked!
Everyone was exhausted after a long, hard day at work
Spare time
They told stories to each other
They sang songs to their new masters
They rarely got spare time
some slave masters let their slaves have one day a month off
Some slave masters let their slaves have Sundays off

They used home made instruments
They were sent out to collect and count animals
