Explain how slavery is personified, and explain how this shows the effects of slavery.

Hi there, here are some of my ideas below :)

Many were tortured in slavery. If a slave was refusing to do work they would be tortured half to death or to death. They would have whips and whip them with them. Some would try to escape and would be beaten or hung. Some were burned. In slavery it required long hours of work. In slavery the male or female would get up early in the morning and work all day, sometimes they would miss a meal and would be forced to work all day until the sun set. The men would be out in the field while the women cooked, cleaned, and probably made clothing for themselves and their masters.

People were bought as slaves at a young age, and they would grow up to work. If a mother/father was a slave and had a child, their child would be a slave as well.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
