Compare and contrast what life might have been like for the for an immigrant and enslaved person living in the colonies during the time in government

Respuesta :

Life for an immigrant.

When the immigrants landed in the thirteen colonies, they land on an island called Liberty Island (were the Statue of Liberty is located today). They would get of the ship and are tested for any diseases. Depending on the class they were on depends on how long they would need to stay there. (First class did not need to go through this process). When they finally get to the thirteen colonies, they have no rights at all. The only way to get any rights if they were White male property owners. (THEY MUST BE WHITE).

For slaves,

When they were on the ship, they were crowded, some had a disease which could make it so easy to spread. And had no rights! Once they were kidnapped from Africa, they had no rights. The whites treated them like dirt. Once they have a slave master, the master orders them around. They were beated up, branded, whipped, and the women were raped. Very brutal. Slaves would attempt to run away. If they were caught, they would get beaten up by their masters. Some did kill themselves. Very difficult and harsh for the slaves.
