Ah. For sake of this discussion, I'll ask you to ask direct questions.
Yes, have read several period primary sources from slaves in the US about slave life. My top three:
Narrative of the Life - Frederick Douglass
Twelve Years a Slave - Solomon Northup
Scenes in the Life of Harriet Tubman
So, on to your assertion, “It depends on if my liberty is impaired.”
