Racism still existed and they were still treated as slaves. Some drank too much and were abusive to their families because they were afraid. Like the slaves Papa had no money, job or home to go back to once the war was over. Papa started drinking heavily, was angry all the time and was very abusive to his family.
Taudenciah Oluoch History 1302-004 Mr. Terry D. Cowan 21 October 2015 In 1875 the United States got involved in Hawaii, when King Kalakaua signed a treaty with the United States permitting access to American Markets for Hawaiian sugarcane, which was the island 's largest agricultural product. The planters ' belief that a coup and annexation by the United States would remove the threat of a devastating tariff on their sugar also spurred them to action. In 1893 planters staged an uprising to overthrow the queen.
The slaves’ men had to do manual labor in the sugar plantation throughout the day and guarding the same at night. They had no rights of getting an education since their masters presumed that doing so will enlighten them. The slaves were denied the fundamental principle of life such as education, the right of having a family. For instance, Stuart was the only black student in the
After they were emancipated faced many challenges. These challenges consisted of poverty, adversity, and vulnerability. Which lead to lack of money from no labor, inadequate shelter,and food rations. They also suffered from being different because they were black and in self-doubt because the Emancipation Proclamation left them to rot.
The working conditions were dangerous, miserable and wages were extremely low. Many
In the 1800s in Hawaii the crop that was the most important crop was sugar, but sugar was not harvested by machines, they were harvested by labors. The need of sugar to trade and sell was essential to Hawaii’s economy so some labors from China and Japan, others from Korea, Portugoal, or Philippines to fill the needs of workers due to the death of Hawaiians from diseases. All the labors had one goal in common which was to find a job to provide for their families. Plantation life in Hawaii in the 1800s was depressing. There were some differences in gender dealing with jobs, the working conditions were long and hard, and the living conditions were unsanitary.
The three main reasons are living conditions were bad, working conditions were harsh, and racial segregation made work unfair. Living conditions were bad. The workers lived in crowded and dirty work camps (1). The places that workers lived in were grass or unpainted wooden buildings (2). Sometimes, up to 40 men were crammed into one room (2).
The article “Slave Life and Slave Codes stated, “Life on the fields meant working sunup to sundown six days a week and having food sometimes not suitable for an animal to eat.”(ushistory.org). Working on a plantation was even worse if their overseer was cruel and harsh. The overseer got paid only to get the most work out of the slaves. Larger plantations needed slaves to work inside the house. Those slaves chosen to do this had much better circumstances.
In the 1800s the working conditions were terrible. Many people were getting hurt, mostly children. Young children worked underground in coal mines and operated machines. They worked 6 days a week and 12 or more hours a day. Many of the machines had rapidly moving parts with caused even more accidents than the weather.
The working conditions of the 1800s were very harsh on the employees. They would be burning hot in the summer and in the winter the employees would be freezing cold. The workers would get caught in the machines. They would have long working hours, for example, they would work approximately 11.4 hours a day. The workers would get tired and by the end of the day, more accidents would happen.
One reason in the 1800 plantations was not easy because of living conditions were terrible. Some reasons that the living conditions were terrible was because they were all crowded inside their house. Also it was disappointing to live the houses. Another thing is they chose to put all the same race in the same house. They were unsanitary and gross.
Living conditions for said slaves were poor, as seen throughout the different plantations visited in the novel. In fact, I found research that proves some of these said living conditions slaves had to put up with, “"Some had partitions, while others had none. When there were no partitions each family would fit up its own part as it could; sometimes they got old boards and nailed them up, stuffing the cracks with rags; when they could not get boards they hung up old clothes. ”(Spartacus). Living conditions were not great for slaves, and this can been seen in the book, on the Shelby’s Plantation.
However, because of the laws implemented, which caused blacks to be treated as inferior, the homeowners would not treat the domestic workers correctly. The workers would be exploited, having to work long hours, low pay as well as terrible working conditions, such as a room with no basic services.
Conditions were hazardous and grueling. They worked long hours for little pay. Most of them could not read or write and they could not attend school because they needed to work. They suffered from malnutrition and exhaustion. They were innocent children that were locked up in factories, like they had committed a crime.
It was so difficult for them to see them as normal people. It was really hard for them to get attention because they would seem them as slave people by saying that is they would treat them as people who would clean the house, the one who made them clean their shoes with the mouth, the one who were able to clean the floor with their hands. In those time it was really hard time to find work for them because no one would accepted because of their skin color. School for the skin color was they would bullying them, having people
