Frederick Douglass (BookRags) During the Christmas season it was considered an insult if a master's slaves did not engage in what activity? Asked by theabaker on 01 Sep 17:18 Last updated by Cat on 06 Apr 03:09
I think that was drinking whisky. Slave owners would place bets, "One plan [was] to make bets on their slaves, as to who can drink the most whiskey without getting drunk; and in this way they succeed in getting whole multitudes to drink to excess."
