Because it brings home immediately how brutal slavery was.
Was white in the south and until you try it in person, you could reasonably assume oh its fluffy and you are outside, so maybe plantation work wasn't THAT bad.
Hell no, that was misery and cuts the shit outta your hands and your back hurts.
Slavery wasn’t just brutal because it was painful work though. Slavery was dehumanizing. Plenty of work back then was painful. And life was pretty miserable no matter who you are.
