Living+Conditions

**Food**

Slaves were given rations each week or even month. Usually they were small rations and once you ran out you got no more. Although nutrition was scant, slaves found other ways of finding food



**Clothing**

As were all other things for the slaves, the clothing was very poor. When slaves were born they were given clothes that would last for a very long time. Most of the things they wore were too small and patched up and/or ripped.



**Housing**

Slaves lived in small houses with many other people. They had dirt floor and open windows. It was cold in the winter and hot in the summer inside the houses. They were dirty and full of diseases.
