Question

1. Study the image “Decks of a Slave Ship.” How and why would abolitionists use this

Answer 1

Anti-slavery would use this image to link abolitionists to slavery because it illustrates the poor treatment of slave transport

The illustration shows what the transport of slaves on ships was like, in it, you can see hundreds of black slaves from Africa organized in very narrow lines.

This image serves to argue opposition to slavery because it shows the deplorable conditions in which slaves were transported from Africa.

Under these conditions, many of them arrived dead due to

• intense heat
• lack of oxygen
• confined spaces.

They were also affected by infections and bacteria because they contained rats and the waste of slaves.

The anti-slavers argued that the slaves were mistreated from their transport and were poorly treated on the estates.
