or hard, depending on their “master.” Some slaves worked on farms and performed extremely hard feats of work, but others would do house work for their master that was not as hard but more time consuming.

Since slaves were considered property their master could do anything they to them, like branding them just for not doing as told. Of course not all masters were violent with their slaves

CHAPTER-V THE HEALING POWER OF FOLK CULTURE Images of women healing ill or injured women, or of women healing themselves, have become one of the central tropes in contemporary African American women’s novels.
