Why Didn T Slaves Fight Back

Have you ever been curious about when slavery started, when it ended, and anything that happened in between? I wrote this report on American slave history to inform you of things such as this. In this essay, I will tell you answers to questions such as, "why didn't slaves fight back?" "who was the first slave?" and "how were slaves treated?"
Slaves-to-be entered America on August 20th, 1619 in Jamestown, Virginia. An English warship that pulled into harbor imported slaves to Jamestown. There were twenty or so slaves aboard the ship and they were the first black people to ever set foot on the continent. They were indentured servants when they came to America, nevertheless, some African Americans became free men. The first person in America to
Slaves got punished for small things such as not working as hard as their master thought they should, talking too much, or using their native language.
