How did blacks respond to the condition of slavery?
I think the black community yearned for freedom and felt dehumanized by the way white people were treating them. The black community tried to maintain a family life in slavery. However unlike the white farmers in the south, the black community kept their culture and avoided first cousin marriages. Some blacks were free and were considered almost a third race without the rights of whites but did not have to answer to a slave owner. An older black colonization movement happened in the 1830s that fought to demolish slavery.

How did slavery destroy black families?
Many Caucasian people thought blacks were second-class people. Many things were segregated between the two races. Things such as bus seats, public bathrooms,water fountains,etc. Rosa Parks and her delay at the police station started the Civil Rights Act. Segregation ruined many black families. Even before the constitution was written, slavery was everywhere in the south. Those who wrote the constitution were afraid a major war would break out if they banned slavery. Eventually, in 1860, the bloodiest war in American history began. Southern men believed they didn't have to work. Some people carried their slaves from Africa and forced them to do their hard labor. Imagine if you were black before the Civil War. It would be very harsh. TO SUM IT ALL UP.... Slavery destroyed many black families because they would sell black people. For example, a family of 4 blacks are at an auction. Selling black wife for 30 dollars! A white man takes her. Selling black husband! A family of white people takes him. GET THE IDEA?
