My name is Graham and I have been in the slave trade as a slave and this world has been very scary. I have had people who I care very much be taken away from me and I have been separated from half of my family. I have been bought and sold from many of people do to the lack of workers in the new world. This all began when I was taken out of my country of Africa, and was put on a ship and then was not told where I was being taken. But then I was brought to this new world where I met some people who lived in what they call Cuba. They told me that these new men came into their country and took them and moved them off of their own land and then put them to work. They were very furious with these new men that came into their country due to the fact that they were forced into slavery on their own land. This led them to start fights and began to revolt. This also led me to find out from some of the natives that they had friends who started to die off and they have no idea why they were. But what we learned is that they were becoming sick and this led to them dying. They mistreated a lot of the natives and I saw it first hand when they brought me to the new world, when I was on the ship. They would beat a lot of people on the ship, we rarely got fed and then they started to throw a lot of people over board for no reason. I witnessed first-hand that people were being attacked by sharks when they were being thrown overboard and then they were being thrown into these rooms if they were not feeling well. They ended up getting more sick and dying in a few days. My friend was fine on the boat and then a few days later he eventually started to grow sores on his body and they snatched him away from us and threw into one of these rooms.
