If you were a slave and a child in Colonial America, life was pretty hard. The only time they stopped doing work for their Master was on Sunday. On that day, they would help tend to their garden and chickens if they had any. The game they played was Mancala which was a way to help slaves learn to count. Most of them never even learned to read or write. It sounds like I wouldn't like it very much if I had been a slave during the colonial period and I am very glad that slavery is gone and everyone is treated fairly today.
