You
are the slave ship from Europe. You are being interviewed by The Atlantic News
for your role in the slave trade.
Prepare your answers to the following questions. Include facts and
figures from your research.
·you
transported millions of Africans to their death
·even though
most of the slaves had never seen the sea, you tossed them about making them
wish for death
·you stank so
much, the slaves were ill most of the time
·that when
they wanted death as a way out of their misery, your side nets stopped them
from jumping into the sea
·that so many
slaves were packed inside of you, they could only lie sideways or sit up
straight during the journey
·at the end of
the journey, the slaves were so traumatised, they were weak and exhausted, they
had no fight left in them so had to yield to whatever the masters demanded.
