Slaves in the railroad industry typically did not have designated break times. They were expected to work long hours without breaks, often under harsh conditions and supervision. The focus was on maximizing productivity and output rather than ensuring the well-being of the workers.

Why does george tucker think that progress in human affairs will inevitably lead slaves to becoming more disconnected?

George Tucker believed that progress in human affairs, especially in education and economic opportunities, would lead to slaves becoming more aware of their own oppression and yearning for freedom. As slaves gained knowledge and economic independence, they would seek to break free from their masters and the system of slavery. This would inevitably lead to greater disconnection between slaves and their owners.


How did Carnegie treat his workers?

Carnegie was known for implementing harsh labor practices, including long hours, low wages, and poor working conditions for his workers in the steel industry. He resisted attempts by workers to unionize and often used violence to break strikes. Despite his reputation as a ruthless businessman, Carnegie did establish some employee benefits, such as a pension plan.


The most common form of resistance by enslaved Africans to their condition was?

It varies depending on the type of work, the slaves, their treatment, etc. The most common forms of resistance we often minor issues geared towards making a point or simply attempting to make the work day easy. Slaves would often work slower to make a point or they would "accidentally" break the tools they were using. Another form of resistance would be running away. The problem with this is it was far more risky, but the reward for success was clearly greater. The most daring and risky forms of resistance would be attempts of murder. House slaves would attempt to poison the master's food, but this was rare. Even more rare would be cases of a slave revolution but, they did happen and in some places (mostly in isolated areas such as the Caribbean) they were successful.
