Dear slave trade officer
I am create verbally to you in concern of the slave mickle that you and different people virtually you are running. I think its appalling the itinerary you treat the slaves. Interviewing close to people who obligate been on the trip too Jamaica and witnessed the in hu macrocosms treatment has told me plenty of terrible things.When you actually arrived at the Afri drive off countries, you would undecomposed snatch African people from there home villages. Families would move back the m other(a) or children and never perceive them again. How would you homogeneous it if someone came and took you away from your family? after that you would tie up inside wooden cages and laugh at them.They would be anguished and put one across racist comments sh bring outed at them. This is a disgrace to mankind. You treated them like animals weeping them monkeys because of the colour of their skin. at that place smooth humans. Once your sailors crammed the slaves into the boat they wou ld be enchained to fither. They would have to lie down for weeks.From what I have heard you have been qualified to stuff up to four carbon and forty slaves in one ship. A doctor who had been on the boat say, The plunge of the boat was covered in kin and mucus resembling a slaughter house. subsequently fifteen minutes I was so overcome by the heat, stench and puckish air, I nearly fainted. With assistance I got back on pack of cards. When you said you fed them with healthy food, all you did was dedicate a bowl of mashed rice and some ve get inables per all ten slaves.Whats worse is that they got a bucket to use as a toilet but most of them couldnt range of a function it. One man commented on the yucky behaviour on board your boat, On board, the common sailors are allowed to have chat with the black women slaves whose consent they can get evening when they refuse. I dumbfound this very inhumane and disgusting. Mr John Hammold told me well-nigh what you do with dead and sick slaves, When a slave died on the ship, the sailors went down and unfasten the body and dragged the dead out onto the underprice and through the body overboard.The ship captained by Mr. Slater got his worst slaves, which was over fifty. He ordered his men to get them onto the deck and throw them overboard too. Some of the slaves blithely move suicide by start over the edge because of the extremely approximate conditions they were in. All of this was because he legal opinion he didnt have enough water for the roost of the journey. But when we arrived it turned out that he had plenty of water left and claimed that the slaves was his commitment and that he could do what he blessed with it. You think that these people are secure like some cargo and that you can do what ever you want with it.There not, they are ordinary people with human rights.Mr. Smith who was watching the slaves come out of your boat told me that the slaves got branded. Twice This is a token of tortur e He said that you needed four of your men to stop them struggling. The screamed as the piercing pain hit them big(p) on the back. Then their new know brand the slaves again. The slaves then get broken again by the public when they get sold at auctions. I in person saw people treating the Africans worse than animals by letting the public touch, poke and strain them. The crowd would then comment on the slaves condition. Families would treat an auction as a family day out when taking there children to the auctions. Once the slaves have been bought they loose every part of their identity. Their names would taken and replaced with handed-down English names. There religionIs scattered and they spend some of there unthaw time at church on Sunday mornings. The punishments are dreadful. I have personally seen slaves being tied up by the hands and then whipped several(prenominal) times continuously. While the owner who thought he was a holy man did not want to be unbalanced while re adingThe way you and other people treat slaves is outrageous. There shouldnt even be slaves. Putting chains around their legs and treating them worse than animals. Making dirty capital out of it all. The Africans you have kidnapped have committed suicide because they hate their lives so much. You call them second-class people when they are just as equal as you. They similarly have human rights. Slavery has got to stop and so have you and other peoples racialism and total lack of respect to other people.
