did slaves have lives outside of being slaves? like did they have to clock in at a certain time and when they clocked out they could go have hobbys or down to the pub and pick up chicks or something? seems like a comfy job tbqhwu

yes, they had their own quarters that they retired to. they were given food and water, usually low-quality or unfavorable parts of the crops they harvested while in season, and cheap grains. labor slaves would work from sun up to sun down, typically.

You get paid for a job m80

between half to two-thirds of all American slaves were indentured servants, so yes, they were getting paid, freedom of bondage for whatever they contracted for.
>>71398130
Depends on who owned them.

she can slave away at my dick if you know what I mean

There where lots and lots of different slave owners and the slaves could be everything from field hands to skilled tradesman. Some owners where all stick, other where more about the carrots and most was probably a bit of both.

I take it you haven't been on /his/?
It's full of redditors, almost exclusively. If you asked that question, you'd either get banned for talking about slavery ("The topic is too charged to discuss") or you'd simply get people calling you a disgusting southern confoederate loving asshole for even just ASKING wether the slaves had ok lifes.
I'm beginning to think slaves weren't treated as bad as the history books say. I'm sure the masters that were insane beat the fuck out of them but the average master was probably more humane. The only time they were beat is if they were trying to rape the master's daughter or some shit. I assume they treated slaves like we do our dogs or horses today. I couldn't imagine them all being whipped and hung from trees since whites have the empathy gene. Something smells fishy, i think saying that the slaves were mistreated and tortured is a Jewish trick.

If you had a slave today, how would you treat them? How would the people close to you treat them? How would other acquintances of yours treat them?
There's your answer. It's been a few hundred years. People didn't change as we'd like to think. We didn't get smarter or more humane. We're pretty much the same as 2000+ years ago, realistically.

Let's test this theory.

Already one faggot making fun of you for implying they had decent lives.
Because if you work the fields from morning the evening, you inevitably suffer debiliating diseases and are on course to die in your early 20s
(except if you're white)
>>71398130
It depended very much on whom they belonged to.

Cringed hard. Post reddit-invasion boards, not even once.

They got holidays and Sunday fundays off. Most masters would give them some dank food for the holidays.
On their days off they would do what modern coons do. Hoot and holler, sing and clap a lot ect.
They could receive permission to go into town and get out and about.
It really depended on their master. You can read real life accounts of former slaves here

I've read hundreds of them, it's really quite interesting.

Did you know we have a board that functions on the actual same principle as reddit?
>>>/news/
Reddit started as a website where people would just link to news articles and discuss them.
We literally have little-reddit here
>>71398980
Slave's masters being cruel is just a meme. There were a few that were notorious psychopaths of course like with any population.
>damaging your own property (living or not)
Doesn't even make sense.

goes to thread someone replies "are you kidding me" top kek
>>71398130
When they weren't working they just hung around drinking rum and playing banjos, jiggaboo dancing the evenings away.
You can bet the worst slave owners were Jews.
>>71400185
This. Slaves probably cost a lot, why would you beat the shit out of them all day?
>>71399557
I think we've established /his/ gets more riled up than /pol/ over simple questions, you may be correct about the reddit infestation, I haven't even posted in the thread yet.
>>71400805
There's probably tons of /pol/ trolls in it
I encourage you to browse for yourself. I may have overstated the reddit infestation thing a little, but it's definitely noticable and should be kept in mind when browsing it.
>>71401122
I figured the results would skew as soon as I posted the link here. I don't really care about history, I only browse /pol/ to keep up on interesting world happenings and occasional shitposting.
We wuz slaves and sheeeet.
Our slavery was just as bad as it was in the US. Except we didn't rape anyone or kill people, so we weren't lynched.
