Answer 2

There were many different slave lives. They were in the most menial of tasks to highly professional jobs. Your comment about knowing how they were “ill-treated” and “beaten” demonstrates a stereo-type image of them which is less than accurate. Clearly, some were ill-treated and beaten, but you must remember they were also highly valuable property and as such treating them that way would be detrimental to that value. You might delve into a separate subject which is that the4 slave’s existence was one of not owning self which is far more detrimental that ill treatment.

The link takes you to slave stories from the slaves them selves. It will take you time to go through them and develop an honest report that you have describe. For someone to do it for you is not in your best interests.

Finally you are in the wrong section to ask for help in your homework.
