Which phrase is evidence that enslaved people on

plantations were treated especially badly?

"those outbreaks of atrocious cruelty so commonly

enacted upon the plantation."

A city slave is almost a freeman, compared with a slave on

the plantation. He is much better fed and clothed, and

enjoys privileges altogether unknown to the slave on the

plantation. There is a vestige of decency, a sense of

shame, that does much to curb and check those outbreaks

of atrocious cruelty so commonly enacted upon the

plantation. He is a desperate slaveholder, who will shock

the humanity of his nonslaveholding neighbors with the

cries of his lacerated slave.

"will shock the humanity of his nonslaveholding

neighbors"

"He is much better fed and clothed

"There is a vestige of decency, a sense of shame"

    I would say this phrase is better evidence that enslaved people were treated horribly, "those outbreaks of atrocious cruelty so commonly

    enacted upon the plantation."

    because the other one makes it sound a tad softer.
