If I was on any slave ship, I think I would want to jump off. There are many reasons behind my actions, one is that the conditions on the ships where just awful. They were cramped, and you would have to do labor, not to mention the long trip. Another reason is that who knows what would be waiting in the other side, it could be just awful. I really don't want to take a chance and see if what is waiting for me is good or bad.
My overall reaction to the video is that the conditions on the ships are awful and I would hate to live on them. I can't believe that they made the slaves there throw off their dead brothers into the ocean. I thought it was just wrong how they would tie weights to a chain and throw some of the slaves into the ocean to drown. I consider them the lucky because they didn't have to work, get beaten, and die like the rest of the slaves.
