Is slavery wrong? Yes. Were slaves whipped and beaten while trying to flee every plantation similar to how people are trying to flee communist countries... no


I am pretty sure slaves were in fact whipped when they tried to flee plantations.

You want to talk about revisionist history then the idea that poor, uneducated, newly freed slaves didn’t flee the plantations means slavery wasn’t that bad is a good place to start.

Slaves stayed after they were freed. Worked for the same plantation owners.

There was no mass exodus of the south.

Archeologists have found muskets rounds and parts under slave housing at several plantations.
