Amistad Reaction

After watching this, it really makes me feel depressed, sad, and frightened at how cruel people were. I would hope that people would choose to be kind but they only can is when theres a law saying they have to be. I am so shocked at how they treated the slaves. They treated them worse than animals, and I always knew this, but seeing it really makes things seem real. I would jump off of the ship if I had a chance to. I would because i wouldn't be able to starve, and get beat, and sold, and beat, and worked to death. The sad thing is that slaves didn't know what lay ahead of them in their miserable lives. If I was on board with my baby, I have no idea what i would do. If I recieved rations of food I would give it to my baby. That would be such a mortifying situation to be in I can't imagine myself in those women's places. This movie is so disturbing and that sad thing is that this all actually happened. It sickening, disturbing, and depressing.
