Slavery Picture

I think that this picture is a good description of slavery on the Middle Passage. There are a ton of white guys restraining the black slaves, forcing some to go down under the ship back to the crammed storage. It looks like they were recently whipped, as there is a whip lying on the ground, as well as other various torture devices. All the slaves are wearing are straps around their waists, and the white men look completely in control. This looks demonic, in my opinion. Those poor slaves probably just faced severe whipping, and they look like they are in a lot of pain. There are many more slaves about to get treated with the same punishment, and it makes me mad that something like that would be happening. The fact that slaves were treated like that is unbelievable.
