No. You can see actual pictures of slaves and what they went through online. Go to google and type in slavery. Besides, if it were made up, why did Abraham Lincoln have to do the Emancipation Proclamation? Seems a waste of time if there WERE no slaves...

Before the Civil War the South's economy relied heavily on slave labor. After the Civil War ended slavery slave labor was mostly replaced by?
The slaves were free, but not free. The south was in ruins at the end of the war, but the former slaves really had no place to go so they stayed where they were for the most part. Sharecroppers became a way of life, but even though people are "free" they were economically slaves. The plantation owners paid them very little, discriminated against them, and they could barely make a living. Jim Crow laws saw to it that segregation was a part of life.
Why does Douglass believe that more slaves do not try to escape?
just like different people exist now, they existed then, not all slave owners stood above them with whips. Understand also that some slaves were trusted with children and were "house" slaves/ caregivers and treated as "help" is treated these days. With that considered their "home" was the only home they knew, if there was a place to go, it may not have been better then where they were now. I would suggest that most slaves who escaped, escaped from the south/plantations, where slaves were on fields all day & treated at worst in masses. Lastly, the reprecussions of escaping also

How could slaves get out of slavery?
I know of one way but it wasn't always guaranteed. They could go on the Underground Railroad. Harriet Tubman is the founder of this. It was not a real "underground" railroad. It was a covered carriage and the slaves would hide under all the crops and things under the cover in the back. Some of them made it out and some could get caught. But that is one way they could get out of slavery.
Which side were fighting for slavery the north or the south?
The south was the slaveholding section, though there were still a few slaves in the north. Slavery had once been legal in all the states. But the south was not fighting FOR slavery. Most Confederate soldiers did not own slaves. Slaves were expensive. Think about it - would you go fight, and fight hard, for years, just so some rich man could keep his slaves? And the north was not fighting against slavery, at least not at first. The north was fighting to "preserve the Union", which the southern states wanted out of. The southerners were fighting for their independence. Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation came after a year and a half of war, and changed the war into one which we look back on today as "for" or "against" slavery.

When did opposition to the slave trade first begin?
It is probably as old as slavery itself. Slaves have probably always opposed slavery, and historical records of their efforts to free themselves go back at least to the ancient Greeks. The Biblical story of Exodus implies a strong criticism of slavery. Opposition coming from the group of people who owned slaves is harder to document, because it was not always politically possible to express it, and any written denunciation of slavery stood a good chance of being destroyed as subversive to the slavery system. But we have discussions of the immorality of slavery at least as far back as Latin literature (see Pliny, for example).
