The+slave+trade

The Slave Trade  After the months long journey on the ship, the slaves were then fed a good meal, and cleaned up. All of them were wondering where the sudden kindness was coming from, considering the horrible treatment they had been given for the past three months. It was, of course, to make the slaves appear healthy and well for the slave trade.

//"Amari shuffled in the dirt as she was led into the yard and up onto a raised wooden table, which she realized gave the people in the yard a perfect view of the women who were to be sold. She looked at the faces in the sea of pink-skinned people who stood around pointing at the captives and jabbering in their langauge as each of the slaves was described. She looked for pity or even understanding but found nothing except cool stares. They looked at her as if she were a cow for sale."//
