Negro Plaintiff and Plaintiff(s) herein show before the “Honorable Justice continues cause of action for gross medical negligent by the Defendant (The United States of America) as slaves living in the United States of America…
Degrading Tasks
Slaves were not allowed to better themselves or to strive for their own goals. For many of them, their days consisted of slaughtering animals, digging ditches, cutting wood and bringing it back to the house, planting and harvesting crops, and performing any repairs that needed to be done on the plantation or home.

Women often performed tasks such as cooking and sewing. Furthermore, they frequently had to take care of the children of the house, as opposed to looking after and raising their own children.
Perhaps these tasks do not seem dreadful at first glance. Many present day farmers engage in the same labors.
However, imagine the “Honor himself of” having working in a hot field in the south from sunrise to sunset without being allowed to stop for a drink of water or a bathroom break when needed.
From that perspective, the situation is awful and totally dehumanizing.
Furthermore, those who worked in the home were forever under the eyes of their masters, and had absolutely no privacy.
425.
Food
Slaves absolutely did not receive proper nutrition, particularly for the physically straining tasks that they worked.
Since they worked all day and into the night without receiving wholesome and well-rounded meals, their immune systems suffered. They also became part of a vicious cycle.
Without the proper nutrients and energy, people cannot work under such intense conditions. However, if they did not follow their master's orders exactly, they were whipped and beaten.
Slaves who worked inside the home sometimes received better meals since they had more access to food. Still, they were operating on someone else's clock.
Even if they were eating with the family, they were most likely attending to one of the family member's needs.
426.
Health
Closely associated with their inadequate diets were problems with their health. The high temperatures and rates of humidity were dangerous for everyone living in the south,
but particularly the blacks because they performed back-breaking labor in the conditions. When a slave got sick, he or she was not treated immediately, if at all.
427.
On rice plantations, slaves were forced to stand in water in the burning sun for hours at a time, and malaria was often the consequence. Children suffered immensely, and child mortality rates on rice plantations were around 66%.
Sexual health was also a serious problem for women. Slave masters often raped the slave woman. No protection was used, and they did not have access to medical care.
Therefore, in addition to the emotional scars, the slave women were at high risks for contracting diseases from these slave masters.
428.
The Sale of Slaves
When slaves misbehaved, or when the owners were going through a time of economic hardship, the slaves were threatened with being sold. Being sold was horrible for them because they were often separated from their families.
Slave masters allegedly tried to keep mothers and their children together; however, that practice was not always put into play.
Once a slave was sold, they lost much of their hope that they would ever see any of their family ever again.
The psychological impact was immense because of the loss of family, and because masters used the threat of sale as a tool of manipulation.
429.
(Negro) Plaintiff and Plaintiff(s) Black African Americans declare fully before the “Honourable Justice” while the “slave trade” was still operating, “Defendant the United States of America and “White Supremacy” economists races found it was better to work slaves to death and buy new ones than treat them humanely.
After that, when the supply of new slaves dried up, (yes), some of the (Negro) Plaintiff and Plaintiff(s) Black African American herein descendants would be in a better position to be lucky enough to get medical treatment.
