### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Comprehensive and Unbiased
  

*by L***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 20, 2020*

Mr. Savitt documents the facts that slave were provided free clothing, food, shelter, and medical care.  Blacks had the same diseases as whites and received the same medical treatments as whites.  As expected, some diseases were more prevalent in one race or the other due to living conditions and genetics.  This book does not dwell on the morality of slavery, but points out that slaves were expensive property that were needed for the operation of farms and industry, and were treated accordingly.  Mr. Savitt discusses the fact that whippings of various types were used to maintain order, but points out that taking a slave out of service was a bad economic decision.  Much of the information presented is backed up with copies of original source documents.“Medicine and Slavery” provides an accurate, well documented, balanced picture of the lives and care of the black population that does not coincide with the image that liberals want to present today.  If you want an unbiased picture of the lives of blacks from a medical prospective, this is a good source.
