Slaves were considered property and they were told what they were going to do. If they didn't they were abused in any number of ways. They had no rights, were not citizens, and were owned by the man who bought them. The largest slave market was in Charleston South Carolina and children born to a slave were also slaves. The plantation system required vast amounts of workers for the crops and the upkeep of the lifestyle of the plantation owner. Slavery was the answer for them and many excuses were made why it was good for the slave. After the civil war and the suspension of reconstruction in 1870 Jim Crow laws were passed to keep former slaves from schools, housing, owning land, and made overt discrimination legal. It will take another 100 years to make new laws to combat discrimination.
