Plantation Slave Quarters
Rows of slave cabins were referred to as "the slave street."
In the photo below only one slave building remains.
What evidence indicates
that two slave families lived in this building?
Why is the communal
well
covered?
Answers:
- the two chimneys, one for each slave family dwelling, are combined
into one large one
- the well is covered to keep the water clean for human use
