Slave trade source analysis
Source 1:300 slaves were collected from aport on the West coast of Africa. The slaveslooked happy and well looked after. It wouldseem that they were positively lookingforward to their trip to the new world. We ledthem onto the ships husbands hand in hand
with wives, children hand in hand withparents. We let the slaves sit where theychoose aboard the ship. There was a largesupply of fresh food and water to supplythese people with. We had flat seas and agood wind; we guess the crossing shouldtake no longer than 15 days.
Extract from the diary of the captain of aslave ship, 1742
Source 2: Our feet and hands werechained together. We were herded ontothe ship like cattle. Immediately we wereforced into the hold (inside) of the ship.My wife and children were forced from myside. I was forced to lay down and there I
stayed for the remainder of the crossing. Ihad a man strapped either side of me. Onmy left, my friend breathed his last breath.He lay still for 3 days before the sailorsthrew him overboard. I was hungry andtired. We were told our suffering wouldcontinue for at least another 7 weeks.
