How many slaves work for you? (4)

Alright, if you take this quiz: http://slaveryfootprint.org/
It will tell you how many slaves work for you. What this means is that this quiz will ask thing like: How many electrics do you own? How many shirts do you? How much meat do you eat? Things like that. I got 60, 60 slaves work for me. That quiz was a huge eye opener.  

Now to the blog. Slavery still has a impact on black families across the world. Here are seven ways that slavery has left a giant impact.

1. Broken families-  We all know that blacks that were enslaved were not given the chance to see or talk to their families. They were property, they were not allowed to legally marry. Any permanent family wasn't a common things for enslaved people.

2. Illiteracy-  Children that were slaves were not given the option of school. It was illegal to teach black slaves to read or write.

3.Broken Traditions - The slave trade broke up husbands, children, and wives by selling them to different families. That was one way the slave trade broke traditions.

4. Unpaid workforce- This plain,old unpaid labour. Slaves would work early in the morning until late at night. The women usually would return to work shortly after giving birth. The women would run to the fields to feed their children.

5.Mortality Rate- More than half of the infants died before the age of one. The black mortality rate was almost double that of the white people. 

6. Broken Legacy-  When the slaves' owner would die all of the slave families were broken. Or when the owner's kids grew up and moved away, they would often take some of the slaves with them.

7.Rape of women- The slave women were always being raped by white men. There was no law against this abuse. A black woman's body was not her own. It was passed from one white person to the next, it was sold.

There are so many more effects that slavery has left.
