Was Slavery Worse For Women

For this discussion I chose to write about the second question which was about weather slavery was worse for women then it was for men. Personally I feel that slavery was a very awful thing that no one should have ever had to endure but slavery was defiantly way worse for women! Having to do just as much as the men, raise and take care of the children and suffer from all the sexual abuse from their owners, on top of that they had all this emotion turmoil from losing family to other slave owners. African American women were one of the most mistreated people during this time period.
Slaves and Women during this time fought for a lot of the same issues during this time period, both where second class citizens, had little to no rights, and where

second to the white man, but what if you’re where a African American slaver, then life would have been miserable for you. For a slave male there was much labor to done whether it be in the hot fields or work around the house but that was all they needed to do. For a women however, they still had all work responsibilities of a man and also had to take care of their families if they had any. In many cases there where situations where a slave women would be forced to take care of other peoples children’s then her own because they would be sold to other slave owners.
The hardest part of being a slave women would definably be all the sexual tortured and abuse that these women went through. Being slaves they weren’t seen as people but rather as objects and their owners felt as they could whatever they wanted to them. They had no say in and where often abused by the wives of their master out of jealousy. There are other things that made life so much harder for women than men but this discussion only had to be 300 words so I’ll save the rest for the paper!
