Personal Narrative On Plantation Slaves
My first day on the plantations, was nothing what I expected it to be. It was one of the most horrific, gruesome sites which immediately dismissed all my assumptions of what I thought I would have faced. The labour was crucial and the work was hard and extremely strenuous. The plantation slave drivers devised theories that “Negroes were lazy”, therefore they were whipped branded, tarred and burned, just to ensure that they were being obedient to their masters. This corporal punishment would leave deep flesh wounds. I cringed with intense emotion, as I watched them endure such harsh punishment. All I could picture at that time was what if that was my father, mother, wife even my children. What would I have done to save them from the brutality.
