with that though.
I think yall fail to realize exactly how limited they was back then
The first slaves off the Mayflowers lived in common houses
They were given rags similar to Europeans indentured servants.
As far as them working in the Winter
I don't know, did they give them a vacation or something ? There weren't any crops to maintain
The first ancestors went to Dominican Republic in the 1500's ...in the December months record lows are in the 60's.
The first slaves to be bought to America arrived in August of 1619 and average temperature is upper 80's ...average low being 50 degrees.
They harvested Tobacco which is harvested from April until September.
During winter months they were indoor, firewood, butchering, or processing the summer's harvest for transport.
I don't think it would've been financially wise to let your slave freeze seeing as he was an expensive investment.

I bet the first mackish slave looked over at that cold and shivering slave chick and said, "Look here bay-beeeee, without clothes, there's only one way we can possibly stay warm.

The definition in this derailing bytches sig shouldn't be "cacique" it should be c*nt.
But white people who first ventured to modern day United States were so incompetent a lot of them starved and had to resort to digging up the grave of their fellow colonists and eat their corpses to try to survive. The historian James Loewen talks about it in one of his books
. Cacs wouldn't have been able to survive without the aid of the Native Americans. Which is real sad. Them Natives should have just let them die or chase them back to Europe. With all that being said the slaves probably froze to death often breh.

These men and women weren't helpless or stupid, I'm sure they invented ways to stay warm.

Like these cacs were from a place where it got cold so they didnt know how to handle it.
