Human Branding.

American slavers branded Millions of slaves. The slave owner branded slaves as if they were livestock. Branding was used both as punishment, and control. And example, a add was placed in the North Carolina Standard Newspaper, on July 28, 1838. $20.00 reward was offered for a female slave with two children. Tall with the letter m branded in her face. Branding started way back in Africa as a tool, before transporting slaves to the Americas. Runaway slaves could be branded with the letter R on there cheek.

It took alot of nerve for a slave to runaway. He are she faced  very hard punishment. The male slave faced harder punishment, because the white slave owner needed the female slave for breeding.

As a 64yo black American man its tough to write my forefathers and mothers history. But for me and my black American brothers and sisters, i had to know where we came from.
