I’m studying for my History class and don’t understand how to answer this. Can you help me study?
- How does Jacobs describe family life for enslaved people? What were challenges for couples, parents, and/or children?
- How does Jacobs relate the unique pressures that enslaved girls and women faced based on their race and their gender? What distinguished their experiences from the white women she encountered?
- How does Jacobs describe the effects of the “demon Slavery” on whites in the South and in the North? How does Jacobs descriptions of slavery’s influence show how this was a national issue?
please use examples from the book Harriet Ann Jacobs, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl: Written by Herself, ed. Nell Irvin Painter, 2000.
