The Bread of Affliction

In Deuteronomy 16 matzah is called the bread of affliction and another possible translation is bread of poverty. So it's clear that matzah symbolizes the slavery and suffering and poverty in Egypt. And yet another rational explanation for why we eat matzat or Seder is not because it was slave food but because God specifically instructed our ancestors to eat the Passover lamb with matzah. Exodus 12 8 says they shall eat the flesh that night roasted on the fire with unleavened bread and bitter herbs they shall eat it. Pharaoh didn't tell him to do that. The matzah doesn't represent slavery. It represents our faith in God as we trusted in
