4. Describe the daily life of a slave on a plantation in Louisiana. 5. Despite living in constant fear of violence, how did some slaves resist their oppression?

4.) Moring, afternoon and night they worked in the fields. The workday began when it was still dark. On some plantations, only after several hours of work the slaves had breakfast. Many more hours passed before they had supper. They had to work without breaks. If they stopped or took a rest, they were punished by someone called the overseer. The overseer was in charge of the slaves. Slaves hated and feared the overseer. He carried a whip, and he used it frequently on the backs of the slave. After 12 to 15 hours of work, the slaves could return to their cabins. Although they were tired, they still had to prepare their evening meals, tend to their children, mend their clothing, etc. Many slept very little when they had to work again. Slaves worked from dawn to well after dark from Monday through Saturday. Sundays were the only day they had to rest during the week. The only holidays that were usually free of work were Christmas and the Fourth of July.

5.) slaves could avoid work, by working as slowly as they dared, or by pretending to be sick. Many enslaved African women had knowledge of medicines made from plants and could use their skills against owners.  Arson and murder were also ever-present threats in the plantation owners’ minds. Another way of resisting slavery was to run away, and although some slaves were hunted down with dogs, and severely punished, others managed to remain free. Slaves’ drumming was banned by plantation owners on the Caribbean island of St Kitts. Such activity was seen as a threat by the owners. So, even playing the drums, or continuing to practice their religious beliefs were methods by which the slaves could resist and challenge slavery.
