The cornrows proved to be efficient and life-saving as they provided the African slave population with elaborate maps so that they could escape from the plantations. Cornrows were used to transfer and create maps with the intention to leave the home of the captors. Such a method for escaping was easy to hide from the slave masters. The act of using hair as a tool for rebellion was also spread to other parts of South America that had African slave populations.🤗

Canadian slavery, enslaved a woman named Marie-Joseph Angelique, who was accused of setting fire to her owner’s house, a fire which in turn burned down much of Old Montreal. Also being black in Canada. Canada is viewed as a progressive country much more tolerant and accepting of diversity than the States. While this may be what is said aloud, the truth isn’t as perfect as we wish it to be. Slavery in Canada was a real and awful thing, y’all, just like it was with our neighbours down south. Many people say it wasn’t as bad because there were no plantations like in the deep south of the States. Slavery here mostly consisted of housework, not field work. However, all forms of slavery should be judged harshly. Enslaved people in Canada were still considered sub hum an actual, or even non-human, beings. They were physically and mentally abused daily and had no rights to protect them. Enslaved women were raped and sexually assaulted, often resulting in children to whom they had no legal right. Children born to slaves just became slaves themselves, same as in the States.

If you’ve never heard of Africville, you’re not alone; the tragic story of this small Black community in Nova Scotia is not as well known as it should be. It is part of a much larger story of Black settlers in Nova Scotia, which goes back hundreds of years. Unfortunately, discrimination and poverty presented many challenges for the community of people in Africville. The City of Halifax refused to provide many amenities other Haligonians took for granted, such as sewage, access to clean water and garbage disposal. Africville residents, who paid taxes and took pride in their homes, asked the City to provide these basic services on numerous occasions, but no action was taken. The City compounded the problem by building many undesirable developments in and around Africville, including an infectious disease hospital, a prison and a dump.
