Which phrase is evidence that enslaved people on
plantations were treated especially badly?
"those outbreaks of atrocious cruelty so commonly
enacted upon the plantation."
A city slave is almost a freeman, compared with a slave on
the plantation. He is much better fed and clothed, and
enjoys privileges altogether unknown to the slave on the
plantation. There is a vestige of decency, a sense of
shame, that does much to curb and check those outbreaks
of atrocious cruelty so commonly enacted upon the
plantation. He is a desperate slaveholder, who will shock
the humanity of his nonslaveholding neighbors with the
cries of his lacerated slave.
