The life of a slave was often as unbearable as a life can be. They could not be sure they will not be killed at any instant, without a warning, or tortured, or even forced to torture others. 

Some slaves probably favoured death to their fate, and felt that even a slight chance at improvement was worth the risk. Perhaps they hoped they would be either killed or freed, and not tortured, and perhaps they would be tortured anyway by their cruel masters, In a way, for many escape was they only option that offered any sort of hope for a bearable life for them.

Why was the reappointment act of 1929 passed
exis [7]
 The congressional districts were redrawn to establish safe seats for the political parties. Before the Reapportionment Act of 1929, the Republicans tried to take over the presidency and both houses of Congress, so that rule would be solely through the Republicans and that no Democrat would have any say over how to govern America. Obviously, this was a very dangerous move and therefore the Reapportionment Act of 1929 had to be passed so that the state legislature would draw the district lines.
