Slave Ships []

[]

Slave Ships [] slaves were sold for $25 in Africa then brought to America and sold for $150 About half of the deaths were from stomach complaints and fevers brought on bored from Africa Quot from Thomas Phillips, a slave ship captain: " I have been informed that some commanders have cut off the legs or arms of the most willful slaves, to terrify the rest, for they believe that, if they lose a member, they cannot return home again."

Perspectives: The slaves- this is horrible we don't deserve this, it isn't fair to us. The slave owners- I paid for them they are my property The ship captains- If I can fit 200 people in to this ship instead of 100 I will get a whole lot more money and even if about 40 die I'll still get like 60 more people to sell for lots of money. saves were pack like sardines in a can one above the other, from the book Thoughts Upon The African Slave Trade John Newton says "With our ships, the great object is, to be full, the lodging rooms, below the deck, are sometimes more than five feet high and sometimes less, this height is divied torward the middle, for the slaves lie in two rows, like books upon a shelf."

If you got caught sneaking away eathier the person who caught you would beat you or even kill you or return you to you owner who would beat you or even kill you Some mothers that had their babies on the ship would throw them overbored because they would rather have their babies die then be born in to slavery and have to have such a harsh life.
