The life of a slave girl

The Life of a Slave GirlMy Comments:- What did you learn about life in the colonies from reading this document? There was a lot of slavery going on at the time. It was really hard for people. They would have to watch their family get auctioned of as slaves. - What surprised you the most about what you read? The little girl liked her mistress. She was sad when she died. Most slaves are happy when their owners are gone.- Compare and contrast the differences between American life today and life for Americans during the colonial era.Today people in America have freedom. They don’t have to worry about losing their family, or being auctioned off. It’s a free country. Back then slaves were known as property.
