This relates to the book because the main character, Isabel, is a slave in the Colonial era of New York. She was sold to Madame lockton. Slaves were not allowed certain streets without a pass, and many bad things happened to them in the colonial NYC streets.

This documentary is about slaves, and the main character in our book is a slave. Slaves got treated horribly in America, and got separated from their families at a very young age and got put to work. Isabel, the main character in my book, got separated from her little sister Ruth when they sold her and took her far away. Some slaves got beaten and abused by their owners. Isabel got abused by her owner Madame Lockton. Madame Lockton threw picture frames at her, slapped Isabel, and did other terrible things to her.

Some parts of this documentary explain that slave owners didn't care about their slaves personalities, but only got them for the work they would do, nothing else. In our book, Madame Lockton didn't care if Isabel was kind, mean, or compassionate. All she cared about was Isabel getting her work done. I think that no one should ever disrespect anyone's feelings or personality, no matter how old they are or where they come from.

I think that back then, slaves weren't even treated like humans. They were just thrown on the bottom of boats and were shipped to a bunch of different places to be auctioned off for a lot of money. Why should people have to cost money?! It makes no sense.

I feel bad for the slaves because the white people are taking slaves away from their families. The slaves wrote about missing their families and wanting to run away from their owners and go back to their real home.

Protest Recruitment

It’s not fair that black woman slaves that worked as a domestic household got paid much less than everyone else. In my book, the main character got treated the same way. I think that the woman slaves work much harder and do much more hard labor than white people. The main character, Isabel, works very hard every single day and doesn't even get appreciated from the work she does. Instead, she gets beat up and tormented. The only person that really thanked her was Lady Seymour only because Isabel saved her from a big fire that happened in the book.

Slavery Song

I think that it is pretty cool that the slaves communicated with singing to each other. Maybe they sang in a different language so the people around them that didn't speak the language didn't understand them. I wish that all slaves learned that type of communication because it would be very helpful. In our book, Isabel could of told the other slaves in a different language that the British were coming.

In this timeline, it shows what type of slaves their were and some key historical figures in slave history. Isabel was a house slave, meaning that most of her work was in the house, doing stuff like cooking, cleaning, running errand, and doing whatever the owner wants. Everyday in the Locktons house, Isabel would do house chores for Madam and cater to her every need and want.

In this textbook excerpt, it says that NYC was one of the most busiest ports at that time. In our book, their was constantly ships coming from all over the world into New York to bring goods and other things. Madame Lockton in our book was always getting British goods, transported from Europe to North America on a ship. When Isabel walks near the port, there is always guards, and multiple shipments of goods coming in through the port.

In the picture below, an African-American slave that is handcuffed is going up to a british man. I think that the slave wants to ask him for freedom because on the paper that the two other guys have, it says slave trading. I bet that the british man is going to increase the price for slaves so he could earn more money.

This Political Cartoon shows a woman, ripped into pieces, signifying tat each piece was another part of the Colonies, and that they could not function without each other. The reason that this relates to Chains is that Curzon is an American Sodier, and believes that the colonies should reunite.
