Slavery Primary Sources

How did the experiences of slaves first hand compared to what we have read about in the past? Were our secondary sources accurate to the slave experience? Explain.

It’s mostly similar. There are a couple of inconsistencies but I assume that’s because everyone who was a slave had a different experience.

What was one new thing you learned from reading these stories?

Some masters were nicer than others. But most masters weren’t nice

Did reading these stories from slaves change your perspective? How so?

Yes. It gave me a more inside view of the slave life.

How do you think that the stories of slaves relate to our essential question of “Why do people move?”?

Because maybe they move to where there are more people in need to make them slaves.

Why did slaves move? Be specific in your answer.

Maybe to get away from old masters, or to get away from places that have a lot of enslavers.
