African American slaves in America were subjected to brutal and inhumane treatment, characterized by physical violence, psychological trauma, and severe exploitation. They were often viewed as property rather than human beings, enduring long hours of grueling labor on plantations with little to no compensation. Families were frequently torn apart through sales, and they lived under constant threat of punishment or death for disobedience or attempts to escape. Despite this oppression, many enslaved individuals resisted their conditions through various means, including rebellion, cultural preservation, and the pursuit of freedom.
