In the 18th and 19th centuries the United States was divided into the North where labor was free, and the South where slaves worked.
From early times there had been Negro slaves in the South of the United States. Negro men, women and children were taken from Africa by force or by some trick and brought to America. Here in the South they worked as slaves on tobacco and cotton plantations.
The life of the slaves was very hard. They worked from morning till night and were beaten and starved. Sometimes their owners sold them, separating husbands and wives, mothers and children.
There were many revolts of the slaves and sometimes white men and women helped them in their struggle but the revolts came to nothing.
The Negro slaves were freed by President Lincoln in 1863.
