Our beds were collections of straw and old rags, thrown down in corners and boxed with boards, a single blanket the only covering---The wind whistled and the rain and snow blew in through the cracks, until the damp earth soaked in the moisture till the floor was a miry as a pigsty. Such were the houses." (Slave Narrative 1700s: South Carolina)
