Slave Trade Group Project The Bears, Tia, Riley, Marcus, Beth
Story, by: Riley I was living in west Africa. My mother and I were living regular lives when out of the blue strangers kidnapped me. They chained us with others and led us to the shore. When the painful walk was done and I had seen several of my neighbors and friends being whipped we arrived at a big ship with strange, white aliens who put us on shelves, close together, with our arms and legs shackled. We were given little food and my whole body ached. I couldn’t move and my throat stung of thirst. After three months of this the ship stopped and I was led onto a strange, unknown land. People wore lots of clothes and it was cold, compared to home. Mom was put on a platform. She looked very ragged and put down. People (the alien kind) called out in strange voices strange words. After a little she was handed over to a man who took her away. Then it was my turn. I stepped onto the platform and after a few people a man took me. He took me to a plantation and that’s where I’m now, working for nothing.
Story ,By: Tia My life was fine until those stagers took me. They took me and my family . They me and my family get on a boat along with other people. The boat finally the boat stopped and we got of the boat. And the strangers started put money on us like we were property. the people they sold us to were mean. they wiped us and Beat us this was the worst day ever.
