B. State goverment should be it
Answer: My reaction to the description of life on a slave ship is that we are very lucky to live in times in which slavery is prohibited because the description let us know how crude, rude, unjust, and horrible it was.
Explanation:
Two reasons back my perspective. The first one is that after many people understood the effects of slavery on people. They decided that slavery should be stopped because it was unfair, we are all equals and we have the same rights.

Punish other slaves, eat bad food, and never being able to do something they wanted.
