Slave quarters

Slave quarters were the living spaces provided to enslaved people, typically small and modest structures located near plantations or farms. These quarters were often basic and functional, offering minimal comfort or privacy. Their design reflected the harsh realities of enforced labor, serving as both shelter and a physical reminder of the enslaved people's constrained and oppressive conditions. Despite their simplicity, these quarters are important historical sites that help us understand the living conditions and histories of enslaved communities.
