The Tortures of Slaves

When looking at slavery, when sometimes forget how serious the injuries inflicted by slave owners were. Many slaves were beaten day and night without any means to recover from the beatings. Furthermore, slave owners would experiment on slaves to see whether they were capable of enduring large amounts of pain. Due to the slow progress of medical procedures and medicine, slaves were not able to treat themselves from the betaings of their slave owners. Not to mention the diseases passed onto the slaves. Many women were raped by their slave owners and then abandoned or even murdered. Many women who did not become pregnant had sexual diseases that slowly killed them from the inside.

Many people today may asked how can african americans ever forgive white slave owners or people that enslaved other people.
