 * __Life As A Slave__**

The way that slaves would connect to our history would be going back about 130 years or so. Our country gratefully banned slavery in the united states. But a long time ago there was much slavery. We use to capture Indians and take then as slaves and sell them to any person that was able to pay. The owner could do anything he wanted with the slave. about the only hope of the slave reaching freedom would be to escape at night from his/her master. This is how slaves connect with our present time.
