Aboard a Slave Ship
Conditions on the ships were absolutely terrible. Men, women, and children were crammed into small spaces. These same African people were denied their basic human needs while on this boat. They were forced to live in disgusting and inhumane conditions, conditions that no person should have to live in. Unfortunately, being forced into these conditions became some peoples’ daily lives in the late 1700s. If you look at the design of the slave ship, it’s really eye opening. People were stuffed into any corner, and they were stowed underneath the ship for days at a time.

ReplyDeleteAboard the Underground Railroad
As strategic and organized the Underground Railroad seemed to be, I was surprised to learn that some of the escape plans were spontaneous. I suppose it makes sense that if there is a window of opportunity, it's a person's responsibility to take advantage of it. I would've liked to learn more about their "complex communication systems" like how they could know if someone needed to be rescued.
Kentucky Underground Railroad.
ReplyDeleteIt was interesting to know that Kentucky was involved in slavery! The state bordered both free and slave states. The fact that some slaves were so desperate to escape the unimaginable things that they were put though, that they would risk going to a state so close to another slave state, is beyond devastating. I never even knew that there was a different Underground Railroad. I'm curious to know if there where more that we are yet to learn of.
