What is your reaction to all of this? Would you jump off the ship? Why or Why Not? If you were on board with your baby what would you do?
This is absurd. I have no idea how any of the African slaves managed to endure the torture and the harsh conditions that occurred on the ship. I would most definitely jump off the ship. It is so much better to die than to endure the torture and conditions the Africans were put through just to be a slave. Either way, the slaves were unpaid for doing what they did so it is completely pointless to endure that just for a life of nothing more than torture. Plus, the "food" that the Africans were given looked absolutely disgusting!!! I would much rather jump off of the ship than take my chances of eating that disgusting looking slop and getting sick and being thrown overboard instead. If I were on board with my baby I would also jump off the ship. I would never want my child to have to endure that and I would rather a baby die a peaceful death than die of starvation on a ship covered in someone else's vomit and excrement.
