Today, I wished I were dead. We are crowded into a tiny space. Animals are given more room to live. I am chained to the men on either side of me. One is sick. He is burning with fever and groans constantly. When he dies, I will be chained to a dead man. I feel sick, too, but it is only the smell turning my stomach. My nose is filled with the odors of sickness and dirt and human waste. I would give anything for a breath of clean air. But I cannot ask. If I do, I will be whipped until I cannot stand. I am afraid I will not survive this journey.

Louis XV (1715-1774) was the King of France. He belonged to the House of Bourbon. He ruled France territory since 1715. When King Louis XIV died, Louis XV was a child an had to wait to be 13 years-old to assume the throne. Meanwhile, France was ruled by Philippe II, Duke of Orleans. During his tenure as King of France he spent a lot of money in wars, he lived in luxury while its people were suffereing from poverty, and this created the scenario for the French Revolution to come.
