"Second, most of the slaves didn't have a bad life on the plantation. Most of Jefferson Davis' slaves returned to his plantation after the war, and there are many accounts in the slave naratives which lamented the life they lead while slaves."

I would think that one would be better living one minute as a free man than living a lifetime as a slave. The best place for the slave would have been in his native land, but due to greed, the same affliction that we still have today, he finds himself in this land.

" there are many accounts in the slave naratives which lamented the life they lead while slaves."

I wonder if there are many narratives about the punishment they recieved as slaves?
