Summary and Conclusion

All the information came from the Louisiana Database. In this project, I learned a

lot. I really learned a whole of things that I didnt know about slaves and what was their

purpose in life and also about their background. I knew that they didnt discriminate on

what type of people they use, own, and beat. There were a few females and a lot of males

present in the Louisiana Database. At the same time, there were different kinds of slaves

with different background, origin, and race.

Although the majority of slaves were black, it makes me feel a lot better to know

that it was some white slaves and also some India slaves. I know it wasnt right for

people to be capture and held hostage, slave owners taught them a lot at the same time.

Slaves were able to plant, create, cook, and other things. They were taught a lot at the

time they were under other supervision.
