Historian and author Ira Berlin talks about the realities of day to day life for slaves. Professor Berlin explains that the slave's experience varied depending on whether he or she lived in a city or in the country, on a small farm or a large plantation, as well as whether he or she worked in the house or in the fields. "One sees that the history of slavery immediately becomes very, very complex," Professor Berlin adds. "And those differences work their ways out in terms of the material circumstances of slaves."
