Slavery would still be as bad as in the 1800’s if it wasn’t for William Wilberforce a  hero of humanity.  William Wilberforce spent most of his lifetime fighting for the slaves, and against the slave trade. Well, how do I know? Well I am going to show you the slaves side, the slave ships and master, and William Wilberforce’s side.

The slaves were treated inhuman in the condition, the treatment, and where they went. The conditions was like a box when you were on the slave ships, and you stayed that way till you got where they were going. It took weeks even in good weather, and through that whole time there waste wasn’t cleaned. You know how I said like a box some slave ships slaves were right next to each other. Now, some masters gave them awful treatment like some girls slaves weren’t even sexually free from the masters. While girls were with the masters the boys worked hard at whatever the master wanted done. The slaves weren’t considered human, but 3/5 only for taxation and other things though. Where they went was usually the sugar cane fields or the sale booths. The slaves worked most of the day, and most of them got burned to death by the fires. At night some slaves rolled into them, but they died in other fires too. That is why they always need the slave ships to bring them more at Jamaica. Read the rest of this entry »
