Many slaves who worked for temple estates lived under punitive conditions, but on average the Ancient Egyptian slave led a life similar to a serf. They were capable of negotiating transactions and owning personal property. Chattel and debt slaves were given food but probably not given wages.

Most of the slaves in ancient Egypt worked naked. The male slaves who did wear the clothes mostly used a short linen kilt while the ancient Egyptian clothing for female slaves mainly consisted of skirts which extended from the shoulders to the ankles.

Maize, rice, peanuts, yams and dried beans were found as important staples of slaves on some plantations in West Africa before and after European contact. Keeping the traditional “stew” cooking could have been a form of subtle resistance to the owner’s control.

When they could, slaves spent their limited free time visiting friends or family nearby, telling stories, and making music. Some of these activities combined African traditions with traditions of the Virginia colonists.

During and before the war, enslaved people played an active role in their own emancipation, and thousands of enslaved people escaped from bondage during the war. On Janu, President Abraham Lincoln announced the Emancipation Proclamation, making 3 million blacks legally free.
