This quote, true or false: "For the most part the slaves were not mistreated"

[CreekDog]

37. No, it's not a trick question.

the correct answer is that the statement is false, because it is.

slaves were mistreated by any definition, either in the narrow sense in terms of day to day abuse that went on and in the larger sense of being enslaved, period.

i even debated removing the "true" choice from the poll altogether, but luckily nobody has voted for that, which would be repugnant.

and i AM NOT asking were there varying degrees of mistreatment. slavery is mistreatment and in addition to that were many other forms of mistreatment that were pervasive in slavery.

finally, the other reason it's not a trick question: i voted in the poll. next time look for the author's vote if you think they are trying to trick people. i voted first and i voted as everyone else has.
