Though the book I read about slave, made a impressive that all slave led a horrible life. They been treated poorly, they do not have enough food. their owner are really rich, every write man in south are plantation owner. And most funny one is I always believe younger lady from big family are raised by black old fat women, they have a special relationship.

“Slavery is a system under which people are treated as property to be bought and sold, and are forced to work . [ 1 ] Slaves can be held against their will from the time of their capture, purchase or birth, and deprived of the right to leave, to refuse to work, or to demand compensation . Historically, slavery was institutionally recognized by many societies; in more recent times slavery has been outlawed in most societies but continues through the practices of debt bondage , indentured servitude , serfdom , domestic servants kept in captivity, certain adoptions in which children are forced to work as slaves, child soldiers , and forced marriage . [ 2 ] There are more slaves in the early 21st century than at any previous time but opponents hope slavery can be eradicated within 30 years. [ 3 ]”

The sham characteristics are those which are attributed to an individual from the point view of other people. They might, or might not, reflect themselves in his own conception about himself.
In a word, the Sambo stereotype is created to achieve some personal reason, it’s not quite ture.
