Slaves in a Sugarcane Mill |

||||||
| Slaves are depicted here carrying sugarcane for processing in the rollers of a sugarcane mill. Most of the more than 10 million Africans brought to the Americas as slaves spent their days as farm laborers. Many toiled long, strenuous hours on the sugar plantations and other agricultural estates that sprang up in the warmer climates of the western hemisphere. | ||||||
