Account of the Slave Trade

1. I learned that back then everything was different. Life was more hard. You could have been traded to another place for cash crops. If you were traded you could have been brought to the America's on a ship with 300+ people and you would have been stuffed in a tiny tiny ship.

2. What surprised me those most would have been how they were brought here because they were stuffed in a ship and if you had to use the bathroom you would have just had to use it and it was so hot that it smelled the ship up and you could have been there for months at a time. While it was so hott people actually died from suffocation, and diseases were on the boat so you could die from diseases.

3. Now days you have freedom. Back then you had no freedom unless you were someone big in the world. You get to go out and make money and lots of it. Back then you would work all day for 12 cents and I make that much times ten just to walk into work. There was slavery and there is no slavery now days. You are you own person and no one owns you unless you go to jail. There is still trades going on. alot stayed the same.
