Analysis of Slaves
Thousands of Africans where
stolen from their homes,Sent
across the ocean too some
place unknown!A lot of these
Africans died along the way,
The ones unfortunate to survive
the travel were to be slaves!
Finally they arrived and were
sold just like land!Not just
sold,but separated by the hands
of the white man.When I said separated
i meant from there families!That's
because this was the ways of their
new society.They were handled like
animals with whips and with chains,
made to pick cotton from fields
without shelter from the rain.
This went on for years they even
attempted too escape.
