I felt that the Africans were treated poorly on the ships but it's even worse in America. They were treated like animals, they were whipped and thrown off the ships to be dragged down to the bottom of the ocean. I think i would jump off the ship because i would try to swim till i found land. I would do this so that i don't have to deal with the torture that was inflicted on the poor souls upon the ship. If i were on board with my baby then i think i would stay on the ship because it gives my baby a better chance at survival. A baby can not survive if i were to jump off with it and carry it to shore. I doubt i wouldv'e been able to make it to shore. Also, i would think that the white man would treat a baby differently than an adult. If i were a white man trying to get slaves i would want to keep the babies heathly so i can raise them as a slave.
