This is What Daily Life for an Enslaved Person in Virginia was Like

  • Between 1808, when the United States abolished the transatlantic slave trade and 1865, when it abolished slavery, enslaved peoples toiled on the plantations of Virginia, Those were not their only sites of labor, however. Enslaved people worked in factories in fisheries, in tobacco processing facilities and as transporters of produce. The image of slaves working in the tobacco or cotton fields of Virginia is somewhat misleading.

      In an Agrarian society, no one is forced. Its a way of life for both slave and free men to continue to work in the life in order to exist. Slaves were expensive and treated well by their owners, they were an investment and needed to be healthy. Hollywood only focuses on the horrors of slavery, the ones who were abused, refused to work, and were punished. Much like today, if you don't work, you don't reap anything in life. Look at the Welfare State of Black folks in Detroit... The Youth are Free but live in Gangs, killing each other every day, more than the KKK ever did. Slavery is a State of Mind today in the USA.

Many things from the Old Testament were prophecies that came true in the New Testament. These prophecies we are aware of even if you don't believe in God. They are part of history whether you believe in God or not. Okay, for 8 of them to be true the odds are if somebody covered the entire State of Texas with Half dollar coins and somebody blindly happened to pick up the 1st one that was put down. At 18, it's as if the whole Earth is covered in half dollars including including the ocean's 2' high of half dollars and someone blindly picks the 1st one that was placed. There are 18 pages of this on the top of page one you hit 30 prophecies and just 30 of them coming true : the odds are so small, it would be as if someone took electrons and compounded them so densely, they are as hard as a baseball and Filled the Galaxy 6 billion light years in every direction with those electrons and had somebody blindly pick the 1st one. Mathematicians actually have proved The Bible to be impossible to have been written by a human or humans. Also, that's ONLY THE 3rd EXAMPLE! there are 17 pages- each with 10 more examples so could you imagine?!? I didn't even bother going to the rest of the pages. My father had passed away and he was an electrical engineer. SO, he ended up just one class shy of having a doctorate in Math. His mother Became a Christian and my father did not want his mother believing "in such foolish things". So, he went to go disprove her and accidentally proved it to himself with math. I didn't realize it was such basic math otherwise, I would have led with mathematics my whole life when trying to share what is the truth with people. Maybe just look into the mathematics of it or the people that translated and put it together properly. The majority of those people weren't even people of faith. They were up to the challenge & just wanted it to be done as perfectly as possible. Many of them were mathematicians and basically all of the mathematicians ended up Christians afterwards or during the process of translating the Bible to the King James version.

    I’m from VA and know there was slavery in my history. The more modern the teachings, the less focus there is on the true issue. Slaves were trained / broken like animals. They were great craftsman, family caregivers, etc bc if they weren’t, they were sold or worse. They were close to the family bc of the need, not affection. They had no choice in the family they were with. They had no choice to follow career, artistic or personal ambitions. I hate any story that tries to make the slavery situation look anything but horrific from day one to the very end. Even freed slaves were left with no means to survive, find family or gain opportunities to improve their lives. It’s ugly. Just ugly.

    I was born up North, but I am the descendant of Virginia slave-owners (I struggle with calling them "enslavers" even though I know that's the modern term) who took their slaves west to Kentucky after wearing out their land. When I was a teenager, I found an old family will in my grandparents' documents in which the slaves were left to the eldest son, along with a grandfather clock and feather bed. Within the past year, my brother found an old clipping of an estate auction in Somerset at which one of my ancestors bought a female slave, Nancy, and her two children, Derek and Hannah. What I found strange was that my ancestors and the descendants of their slaves stayed in contact for generations. My late mother was taken to meet a member of the Black side of the family when she was a small child. (I am told there is some mixed blood but I don't know the details.) My mother's cousins would ask permission from the descendants of the slaves to go hunting on their land. So many mysteries...and the people who could answer my questions have passed away.

I can't imagine what those times were like. What's interesting is that your families kept in touch. I agree with the above poster. Do some Ancestry testing and digging. There is a ton of information to find. I'm going from one line to the next, and there are so many stories. I found that I am 54% African and 42% European. The rest other things.

      Thomas Jefferson allowed two or three people to escape without pursuit, and recommended informal freedom for two others. In total, of the more than six hundred people Jefferson enslaved, he freed only ten people - all members of the same family. In 1779, as a practical solution, Jefferson supported gradual emancipation, training, and colonization of African-American slaves rather than immediate manumission, believing that releasing unprepared persons with no place to go and no means to support themselves would only bring them misfortune.

    in the late 1980's i worked in mortgage servicing. At that time was the S&L banking crises and we took over a small bank in very southern Indiana, near the Ohio river. In that area, real estate transactions were recorded in a book called an abstract of title. Every transaction relating to that piece of property was recorded with an entry page. The first page at the bottom was almost always an act of congress giving a settler 40 acres of land. then each sale/split or inheritance of land and other property was recorded in the book with a page. Most chilling were the inheritance pages that listed the Human Property being distributed amongst the heirs. You could read how families were split up and forced apart.

    Listening to this now, we can see how the US still disregards the humanity of human life, whether black, disabled, or female. Looking at the homeless encampments and knowing the conditions that exist in public housing, not too much has changed. LIving in the hood in a small town means you are followed around and often "watched" by housing workers and so forth. If you stand up for your rights you get punished or abusive workers come in to do the bidding of housing authorities with little care for safe work conditions let alone clean air conditions. Mold not only grows inside courthouses and schools but inside the homes of where poor people live, majority of whom are black or immigrants. Deep history hopefully can stop the old ways of the system. Deep history will hopefully stop being current events that get hidden by lots of cities and towns. Is American more humane now? Are there still homeless people? People who are in poor health due to lack of medical care? Yes. And so. This country is good for slaves and only a few rich people who hoard money to the point that they allow their own government that supported their success/education to have to print more money. Then they make MORE money. Just a few. Clue: they aren't black, female, or disabled.

      I guess it has dawned on you that life isn't perfect, and the US isn't perfect and never will be even in spite of our best efforts. However, starting with immigrants--conditions in the US are probably better than in the countries from which they are coming, and many likely don't have skills marketable in the US or sufficient command of English, so they end up having to start on the bottom. In most other countries, an immigrant has to prove the ability to contribute to that society, a large part being the financial ability to support oneself, but in the US this isn't generally the case, at least not for the masses 'crashing' the southern border. The freedom to engage in the 'pursuit of happiness' is a traditional American value, but there is no guarantee one will find it or that the government is obligated to step in to provide it. (By the way, the slaves described in this video had little or no means to pursue happiness, and weren't in their current situation by choice, so a comparison of the modern US to that is, at best, insensitive.)
      In humid climates, mold can be a problem. In the house in which I'm living, mold developed on some of the furniture in the rec. room during the summer. A can of Lysol and a vacuum cleaner did a lot more to solve it than wringing my hands and complaining. (By the way, have YOU volunteered to help remediate this problem in any schools or government buildings?)
      To what in particular are you referring when you suggest that the US disregards the humanity of females? I'll assume you haven't spent much time in a divorce court. I'll agree that many areas have serious problems in terms of homelessness, and the solutions aren't easy. The cost of healthcare is, of course, also a serious problem in the US. There are many laws designed to aid and protect disabled people, but some fall [no pun intended] outside the system. Unless you listen solely to the propagandists, you will realize more in this country has been done to help black people than in probably any other country--but having said that, the fact that some 72% of black children are born to unwed mothers has serious consequences that can't be solved simply by "programs".
      I take it either you are unsuccessful in life and bitter, or trying to be a "social justice worker" because it happens to be fashionable these days. Are you personally doing anything to solve any of these problems, or simply complaining to salve your conscience?

Worse actually, because we don't just get followed around - here, the housing workers force their way into people's homes against their will. If one tries to speak up against this, the punishment is false accusations of the tenant allegedly having been "abusive and violent" and "attacked the housing workers" - and subsequent consequences. Obviously, nobody believes the tenant as the poor are always assumed to be lying troublemakers, stupid, violent and drug addicts, so making a formal complaint is pointless. The mold in homes is so terrible it's sickening.
      Low income housing landlords demand that tenants divulge everything about themselves, from income to s@xu@l preferences, who they sleep with and who they live with, religion to ethnicity, date of birth to employer etc. If one refuses, they use psychological tricks to get that information and force their way into people's homes, as mentioned above. They then take pictures against the tenant's will and report back during weekly meetings with police, social workers etc how tenants live, what they got, how much money they have, what their preferences in the bedroom are etc, and all gets put on file.
      Lack of medical care - officially we have a socialized medical system but reality is poor people get medical treatment denied. Doctors make assumptions about each patient and if they decide a patient is stupid and poor, then that's what they write in the medical records, and no amount of the patient producing evidence to the contrary can change that - and with this, the patient is condemned to not getting treatment but knocked out with either antidepressants or tranquilizers. That's all a poor person can get, no operations, no actual treatment. Only antidepressants, tranquilizers, painkillers and abortion pills. All of these get absolutely pushed on the poor, and those assumed to be poor. Most people cannot withstand the considerable pressure and take these tablets, terrified of the consequences if they refuse. Refusing to take psych meds results in false accusations being entered into the patient's medical records, "patient is abusive and aggressive" etc.
      People that get targeted in such ways are not so much black people here but mainly women, especially women that are not politically correct such as intelligent women, those who are outspoken, those who try to speak up against injustice, attractive and slim women (they get hated on like mad!), women who refuse to live promiscuous lives, women who believe in God, women who can see through all this. Also immigrants as long as they are not Muslims as Muslims have special rights here, women who work for a living instead of lying back and dropping kids, women who refuse to go through the casting couch for a job or an apartment, women who are educated but for some reason or another ended up poor - usually as a result of abuse and trafficking, which is rife here.

      Slavery was never the right thing to do, but it at least on some level worked and many slaves lived long and relatively prosperous lives. Would they have rather been free? Probably, but for a long time that option was not open to them, so they, I believe, made the best of a bad thing. Sometimes a slave would run away and it wasn't a rare event. Laws were passed to return slaves to their owners, even in the North, when they were caught. It was a stressful time and it led to our Civil War in which 600,000 men on both sides died, it can be argued, to free the slaves. My great great uncle died in Andersonville. I have seen his head stone in the huge cemetery there. Reparations from me and my family....nope.

Their is no such thing as "people thought differently back then, and that's why they owned slaves." There were literally hundreds and thousands of people that didn't own slaves, were against the whole institution, and wanted nothing to do with that business.

      No. We know for instance that some very good, honest and brilliant people such as Thomas Jefferson owned slaves. He BTW inherited his from his father in law. Many, if not all Southern Plantation owners used slaves as field hands and servants. It was the system and had been for a very long time. Certainly some slaves were treated worse than others. It just might be that Thomas Jefferson in order to make the best of a bad deal treated his field hands and servants well. After all, a happy slave must have been a better worker than a sad and abused one. Moreover slaves were extremely expensive, some costing $1,000 or more. It was therefore, money in the bank to treat one's slaves as good as possible. Were there some evil slave owners? There must have been, but there must have been some good ones too. Put yourself in the place of a slave owner. Now tell me how you are going to treat your slaves (called field hands and servants, never "slaves").

    The State of Florida has passed a law allowing public schools to teach the concept that American slaves actually were better off being indentured. This has caused serious blow back. One of the most popular Black Fraternity's has promised NOT to hold their convention in Florida any longer.

Yes many blacks unfortunately was enslaved no fault of their own but many wasn't as well and was wealthy some owned slaves themselves some gained wealth by other means. Let's tell the full truth that many others was also enslaved Whites And other non blacks even owned by some blacks . Yes some blacks did own white slaves . Just like some native Americans gained wealth from the slave trade as well as some being enslaved themselves. Let's tell the truth that in the very beginning there was no such law stating blacks couldn't learn to read and many blacks was actually more literate then whites of the time this is part of the reason why they changed the laws.

    Are the photographs from the actual days of slavery? If they are, they are very good photographs for their time. I've never seen any photographs from that era that are in that good of shape, so sharp and such clearity. I've never seen a photograph of President Lincoln with such sharpness and clarity. To me, these photographs looks like they could be from the late 1880's to the early 1900's.

      Some of the photos in this are not even taken in America. Some do not pertain to slavery, most are art works rather than photos and always made in the context of the masters not the slaves. Some were taken of actual slaves, but only rarely as photography mostly did not overlap with the slave period. The ones that were taken back then are not really taken to show slavery as such, but to demonstrate wealth and prosperity. There are some engravings and art works that do present a real picture. Please disregard any prettied up pictures of slave quarters, mostly they do not present a true picture, whole extended families lived in very small spaces. Please also note that there is a lot of emphasis in this of known historical political people, presidents and the like. There was a lot more to the picture than these high profile people and their slaveholdings. Please try looking at slave auction records for a more accurate picture of how slaves had to live. Also please disregard all the talk of growing veg and trading chickens, as if these were recreational activities. These were actually about survival. The whole section about the cloth manufacturing stuff run by six women really needed to be looked at more objectively. How many slave were they producing fabric for? Where did the materials come from (cotton grown by other slaves) and yes the narrator did mention it was a cost cutting exercise. Maybe not so much about what possessions, clothes, each slave had, and whether they had adequate shoes to wear in winter.

    British colonialism and their economic model was slavery 18th century. So imagine what the Americans did to humanity. The British stole millions of people for their colonies and most slaves didn't even reach there alive they perished on the journey. Shareholders are the royal family that shipped the most slaves. Yet, no slave has been paid reparations and the royal family still receive money. King Charles’ Bloodstained Crown. He's ancestors bought slaves in Virginia and not one apology. But as they say A Dog's Tale can never be straightened. There are more convicts sent to the U.S than Australia. And in the U.S they call the Native people Indians and not one of them is from India.
