Slaves were often exhausted, traumatized, and disoriented when they arrived on slave ships. They experienced fear, confusion, and distress due to the harsh conditions of the voyage and the unknown future that awaited them.
Slaves often felt worthless because they were treated as property, deprived of basic human rights, and subjected to physical and emotional abuse. The systemic dehumanization and degradation they experienced from their oppressors reinforced feelings of worthlessness and powerlessness. This psychological impact was also perpetuated by the lack of autonomy and control over their own lives and futures.
Frederick Douglass used his education to advocate for the abolition of slavery, speaking and writing about the injustices faced by slaves. He felt empowered and motivated to bring about change by educating others about the dehumanizing effects of slavery and inspiring them to fight for their freedom.
Slaves experienced a range of emotions while enslaved, including fear, anger, sadness, and hopelessness. Many felt a sense of loss of freedom, dignity, and autonomy, as well as enduring physical and emotional abuse. Despite these hardships, some slaves found ways to resist and maintain their humanity and sense of identity.
Slaveholders wanted poor whites to feel superior to slaves, so that they would not unite with slaves to challenge the existing power structure. By convincing poor whites that they were better than slaves, slaveholders ensured that their control over slaves remained unchallenged. Additionally, slaveholders sought to maintain social order and stability by preventing potential uprisings or rebellions.
