History Project 3
Storyboard Text
- Here we are more socially conservative. We have strong attachments to our churches and we've created hymns and psalms to sing for church. Our slaves study our christian services. And literature is another art. Books are written on various subjects, mostly slavery. The books and the way we write show our slang.
- What is the culture here?
- Our social status is mostly based on how much land you own. The more land the higher social life and acceptance. The farmers and planters are at the top, yeomen (poor farmers) in the middle, and slaves at the bottom. Here in the South people are either rich or poor
- There seems to be a difference in housing and how people are treated. What is the social hierarchy like?
- Yes, sure. We mostly feed ourselves since we have great land to farm on. However, most foods and especially vegetables are overcooked. We don't use spices a whole lot because they are expensive so sometimes the food is a bit bland. The food also tends to spoil rather quickly. We have breakfast foods, dinner since it is the largest meal of the day, alcohol, and dessert. The slaves don't get dessert or alcohol but do get some meat and vegetables. We like to supply them with vegetables to ration our meat.
- Can you elaborate more on the culture here? Preferably the food part?
