### Describe how the slaves were treated in North America:
In North America, enslaved Africans were subjected to harsh and dehumanizing treatment. They were considered property and had no legal rights. Conditions varied, but enslaved individuals often faced long working hours, physical punishment, and living in inadequate and overcrowded conditions. Families could be torn apart as individuals were sold to different slaveholders. Enslaved people were typically forced to work in agriculture (especially on plantations), but some also worked in households or skilled trades. Resistance and rebellion were met with severe punishment, and there were no protections against exploitation. The brutal realities of slavery led to significant psychological and social impacts that have lasting effects on descendants today.
