Slaves were often exhausted, traumatized, and disoriented when they arrived on slave ships. They experienced fear, confusion, and distress due to the harsh conditions of the voyage and the unknown future that awaited them.
Slaves were brought to Philadelphia through the transatlantic slave trade, where they were forcibly transported from Africa to the colonies. Once in Philadelphia, they were sold at markets and auctions to plantation owners, wealthy individuals, and businesses in need of labor.
Slaves often felt worthless because they were treated as property, deprived of basic human rights, and subjected to physical and emotional abuse. The systemic dehumanization and degradation they experienced from their oppressors reinforced feelings of worthlessness and powerlessness. This psychological impact was also perpetuated by the lack of autonomy and control over their own lives and futures.
Frederick Douglass used his education to advocate for the abolition of slavery, speaking and writing about the injustices faced by slaves. He felt empowered and motivated to bring about change by educating others about the dehumanizing effects of slavery and inspiring them to fight for their freedom.
Think how you would feel if you were a slave, considered property, not free to go where you want, illegal to learn to read, not able to own property ,not paid for your work, have your name taken away, not able to speak your native language, not able to practice your religion, to have your children or husband sold away from you, need a pass to go anywhere. These are what slaves faced and the way they lived. So, how did they feel?
Slaves experienced a wide range of emotions, including intense sorrow, anger, fear, and despair due to their harsh living conditions, mistreatment, and lack of freedom. Despite their hardships, many slaves also displayed resilience, determination, and hope for a better future. Individual feelings varied greatly depending on personal circumstances and experiences.
