T-SLAVE LIFE ON THE PLANTATION.

Dear diary,

= Today was BRUTAL! I worked all day and all night.Finally I’m getting rest on my hay bed in my small shed. I am currently working on a tobacco plantation.A plantation is a large farm that ofton grows one cash crop. I just hope John Woolman, a Quaker who speaks out against slavery, can succeed on getting slavery to the wrong side of the law.I hope he can get it so that there is no slavery ever again. It is so un fair. The only differece between them and i is that our skin color is different. WE ARE STILL PEOPLE!!!! = = Today I plowed, cut, and basketed a huge section of the plantation. It is so crule; my six year old son was working at the stable, when he wasn’t working fast enough......then....he got sent to the whipping post!!!! Life is so unfair for the slaves like me! They treat us like animals!!!!!!! =
