    Slavery is among the most detrimental phenomena that have ever happened to humankind. In particular, the practice subjected the victims to unbearable living conditions, as well as physical and psychological tortures. Considering the book Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, Harriet Jacobs is an example of the person who endured tough times in the hands of slave-owners (Garfield and Zafar 12). Jacobs’s case served as an eye-opener to the world on matters regarding the quality of life and a social status, which slaves underwent in the ancient times. Essentially, slaves assumed the lowest class that could not make its own decisions, and the analysis of Jacobs’s experiences reveals that she suffered more from psychological than physical abuse,…

    This paper presents the life experience of two African-Americans as slaves during the nineteenth century. Henry Bibb was the author of his own narrative, which he published in 1849 with the assistance of Lucius Matlack. The second source was the narrative of W. L. Bost, a slave from North Carolina. He was interviewed as many other enslaved African-Americans by the members of the Federal Writer’s Project around the 1930s. The purpose of these narratives was to describe to the public what it meant to be slave at that period of time. Both authors recalled the difficult and cruel conditions they faced during their journey as slaves. First, they were sold as merchandises on the market.
