The African -American experience

The African-American experience in colonial times. Appreciating that each region of North America was different, slave conditions were different as well.

PARAGRAPH #1: Suppose by some extraordinary trick of fate you were transformed into a slave in North America for three years. But suppose also you could choose where to live and what kinds of jobs you would be enslaved to do for 3 years. Where would you live and what job would you do, if you had to pick the place and the conditions where you would suffer the LEAST? Give at least 3 reasons why you would choose this kind of slave to be.

PARAGRAPH #2: Suppose by some extraordinary trick of fate you were transformed into a slave in North America for three years but this time all you could do is make sure you are NOT transformed into a slave in one certain region and with certain jobs. Where would you LEAST like to be a slave and what jobs would you consider that most terrible that slaves were forced to do? Give at least 3 reasons why you would choose NOT to be this kind of slave living in this region.
