After finishing Chapter 1 I can tell that I’m in for a unique perspective on slavery and black Americans. Washington states that “the black man got nearly as much out of slavery as the white man did.” While the statement seems controversial, his reasoning is understandable. He claims that blacks were conditioned to become handy with manual labor, while white slave owners and their families became lazy.
