They had the choice of starving. Slaves cost a lot of money and were taken care of better. Like the captured people and their kids of Western Europe anywhere near the coast, made slaves by the Gold Coast Pirates. Later, the white slavers did the same with the Irish. When worked too had digging the projects of New Orleans the blecks would shout out they were being treated like the low priced Irish.

There wasn't necessarily pay involved, just food and housing for some. The Oyster shuckers got paid according to their production. The smaller kids fit inside the machinery while it was running so they were used to lube, no shut downs. Much like China today. Lots of amputees as a result. And we waited until 1971 to come up with OSHA
