Most slaves didn't even know they were slaves since their lives improved so much compared to life in Africa. Ironically, the African tribes who captured and sold them to whitey were living worse lives than an American slave.
While the mainstream image of slavery is men being whipped and beaten in the fields, that is generally not true. These men were farm workers and their owners needed them to be in top physical condition.
