The Journey from Africa to the US

February21

 

My name is Julia and it is night time. I have 2 sisters and they are both older than me. One was called macie and the other was called cloe. We are having a party because it is the time when we plant corn. We were dancing and we could here the hitting of the drum. We could hear the beat of the song. All of the sudden we found that we were surrounded by Americans. We could not do anything with weapons because we left them in a pile in the jungle. Our chief did not know what to do because had no weapons to use. The Americans had weapons and they hit our chief and he could not do anything. They also tied him with chains. They also did this to a lot of other people. The Americans took all the people and tied them all together so they were in a line. Then they took them and put them in canoes and they would start rowing the canoes and they had no chance of getting to their land again. The chief really wanted to do something but he could not.  They passed men that were more focused on their work than us. We finally got to the a place and we got out of the canoes. Than we had something terrible happen to us, we got tossed into a pit and we got a little food but not much. We waited in the pit for a long time. Then we were put into a ship. Everyone was worried that something super bad was going to happen. We were in the boat for a long time. We still did not get very much food. Finally we hit land and they started to sell us as slaves. All of us got sold except the chief. Then someone bought the chief. Now we really can’t get back. But I don’t know.
