6. Living Conditions
The living conditions imposed on enslaved individuals by Franklin & Armfield were horrendous and dehumanizing. Upon arrival at their slave pens, individuals were often housed in cramped, unsanitary quarters with little regard for hygiene or comfort. Basic necessities such as food, water, and shelter were severely lacking, leading to rampant disease and malnutrition.
Enslaved people were subjected to harsh treatment and frequent punishment, fostering an atmosphere of fear. The utter neglect of their well-being highlighted the brutal reality of slavery, stripping them of dignity and reducing them to mere commodities in a business focused solely on profit.
