Answer:

Use dashes to set off appositives that contain commas; in other words, if you are renaming a nearby noun with something that contains commas, use dashes to set if off.  

OR.

Use a dash to prepare for a list, a restatement, an amplification, or a dramatic shift in tone or thought.

The narrators were separated from their birth parents

The first passage starts with the narrator's opinion of selling children. That gives us an idea of what the second paragraph is about. The sentence where it said the woman pretending to take me in her arms, indicates that the woman is not the narrator's mother but she acts like it. A child would not call his/her mother a woman.

The second passage is clearer with this fact. "and left me about half a year old, and in bad hands". This indicates that the narrator was left with someone besides his/her parents. The "her" the narrator mentions in this passage his/her mother, and when it states that she was transported to the plantation it is inferred that the narrator did not go with her, as it said he/she was left.

Hope this helps :D
