Slave States

 So this is the first blog post about this genre and I'd advise you to not read if you can't deal with people being tortured and can't deal with racism !!

So throughout this unit so far it has actually been really interesting for me and we have been filling out a map to where the slaves have gone to and where most of the slaves where we also listened to music and songs from the movie 12 years a slave safe to say that all the owners of the slaves where a real piece of sh*t we learned about how the slaves had to be on a ship for up to 4 months and they couldn't move they couldn't eat they didn't have anything and most of the slaves ended up dying so the people who ran the ship just threw them off the edge. 

When the slaves got there they were sent to an ownership store where people would buy them and use them for their own human needs because the world back then was racist.

The Africans often communicated through songs and sung songs to feel better most songs had a hidden message like this song for example-

Wade in the water
Wade in the water
Children wade, in the water
God's gonna trouble the water
Who's that young girl dressed in red
Wade in the water
Must be the children that Moses led
God's gonna trouble the water

Harriet Tubman was a woman that got slaves out of captivity she saved a lot of lives she never got caught and was never held captive something she did to help them escape was make an under ground rail road

Which as you can guess is talking about people dying. I can't figure out how to put the map in but when I do ill be sure to edit this post !!

Anyway this is only one of the many blogpost so thanks for reading
