I think that this picture accurately portrays the work of a slave. They had to do the most laborious jobs such as picking cotton. This picture shows the slaves picking the cotton, and cleaning it. This panting does not show the hardships, however. Many slaves had to work all day and then if they stepped out of line, they would be beaten to the edge of death. Sometimes the slaves would even die. This was a terrible time in our nation's history, and I am glad that it is over and we have learned from our mistake. Slavery was a terrible idea, and the events these slaves had to go through were much more than anyone should have to go through.
