Slavery


In the 1840's to the 1860's slavery was legal in the U.S.A. Rich farmers would use slaves for picking cotton and other stuff. They would work from 4 in the morning to 10 at night. The slaves lived in small shack with dirt floors. Sometimes the slaves would try to run away to Canada were slavery was not legal. Most times they would be caught and brought back to the farms were they may cut off the slaves feet so they could not run again.
