PASSAGES FROM "TO BE A SLAVE"

"The biggest parties were held, however, at Christmas. There were certain holidays that were celebrated on most plantations- Good Friday, Independance Day, and at the end of cotton-chopping season. Christmas, however, was the biggest celebration. Discipline was eased considerably and the slaves were given two or three days off, and sometimes they got the entire week between Christmas and New Year." In this passage, the main idea would be how the slaves got to celebrate holidays and slaves didn't get locked away all the time. They actually got to do some fun things
