Slaves of which country and when? Slaves have been kept for thousands of years, and they often ate the simplest food of the culture at the time. This was usually stale bread and possibly a small amount of old or low-quality meat, vegetables or fruit.
lima beans and bread
They ate whatever they could get their hands on.
____________________________________________
Most slave owners did not spend too much on food for their slaves so most of what they ate would be what they could grow for themselves or what they could put in their pockets as they worked.
Most of what they ate was fatty meat and cornbread... I could suggest to you to consider what we would consider soul food... as a basis of what they ate: pig feet, collar greens, beans, fried chicken... these are considered traditional foods.. that originated during slavery.
Slaves ate whatever their owners provided at the time. That would include breads and water. Mostly- since ppl didnt think the slaves were deserving foods of different varieties, that same attidude towards them as when they even became slaves.
Slaves had to eat what ever was given to them.
Many slaves ate corn, bacon, chiken, biscuits, or potatoes.
some slaves had to plant their own food, or steal leftovers from their master.
the sometimes had to survie off dirt because their owners whipped them so hard they could not walk to get food but they liked anything that was actually food
A plantation slave typically would eat a hanfull of rice and drink milk
It would depend on where they were. The diet of slaves in Africa would have been different to the diet of slaves in Asia for instance
They often ate porridge or soup.

The South wanted slavery
yes but some white people didnt offer an education to their slaves.
slaves werent supposed to be literate during slavery so they only became literate when they escape from the south
Slavery was made illegal by the 13th amendment during the civil war. Before slavery was made illegal people were still allowed to bring slaves into the country.
