I can't imagine having to hug my mother for the last time knowing that I would never see her again. I feel so sorry for everyone that was sold and lived their lives as slaves

# data[].attributes.body
It's disgusting to even think about buying an human with a heart and soul and then have the audacity to inspect them and make sure they're good enough for them.

# data[].attributes.body
It is unacceptable to see the terrible treatment these humans received. I could only imagine the absolute pain and agony these people went through. It truly is heartbreaking.

I've only been to 1 auction in my life and they were selling these assorted baskets full of different things. It's so sad that people just auctioned off families and people like that. If I was taken away from my family like that I would be so devastated and its horrible to hear that people went through this just because they had different looks

# data[].attributes.body
its crazy that some people in america still think that this is okay.

Its sad to see a mother and daughter having to say goodbye before they were about to get sold. I cant imagine a life without my mother by my side.

Its so sad to see that people would seperate children from their families to never be seen again just because of their skin tone

# data[].attributes.body
to imagine myself being taken away from my mother let alone my family would tear me apart and this girl knows she is going to be treated awful but she doesn't have a choice and that it so horrible

# data[].attributes.body
They're called a gang instead of a group of people which isn't respectful

This picture is very sad because they are ripping families apart. The way that the enslaved people were treated was really sad and it's hard to think about how people can treat other people like that.

The people inspecting the Africans think they are the humans and the Blacks are the "animals". But in reality, The Africans are the humans and these people who are kidnapping and assaulting them, are the Monsters.

# data[].attributes.body
This picture makes me uncomfortable because the auctioneer is holding the baby by its arm and treating the baby like they are a doll. Also, that poor mother is getting her looks like a new born away from her just because they are black and I can't even imagine what it was like for the both of them.

this right here just shows how white people used to think of blacks, basically like farm animals, like they are nothing but they weren't even thinking of the fact that they are no less the anyone else

# data[].attributes.body
to think that these men would inspect these innocent people like farm animals in front of everyone is disgusting.

# data[].attributes.body
The utter sorrow on their faces is horrifying and what's even more so is the complete lack of remorse on the faces of the people who are literally buying and selling humans like they're expendable and worthless.

Its wrong how a baby is being held by just one hand and is being sold when it looks like they aren´t even a year old yet. No baby should have to grow up with no parents.

# data[].attributes.body
this is so awful that they were selling enslaved human beings. It is so sad that they would seperate people from their family. No ones deserve to be treated so horribly

I find this image very disturbing. I know at this period in time they were not considered people but it's just so hard to imagine it. The person is almost checking him like they would at a check up for a dog or cat. It's horribly cruel and a total invasion of privacy, though I'm sure no one really cared at that time.

Mothers are getting separated from their own child while everyone is basically lining up to buy more enslaved people, this is horrible to think about.

i feel like it would be awful to be those enslaved people just standing there completely still while the artist draws them, and they know very well they are going to be treated very poorly but they have to just stand and wait

This shows an African family being sold into labor. This is very unbelievable to me. Humans! Human beings are being sold as if they are animals! And this was OK?!?!? Unbelievably disappointing. Human beings taking away other human beings because of a color that has nothing to intelligence or strength. It makes me sad to see how people don't take this serious.

In this picture you can see families being ripped apart. The kids saying their last good bye to their parent who is being sold, some even begging because maybe just maybe there will be a chance they don't have to go. Looking at this is horrifying. African Americans had to go through this on the daily because they have a darker skin tone. The fact that this was able to go on for so long is beyond not okay, and the fact that variations of this is still happening today is petrifying.

# data[].attributes.body
I am shocked that people thought this was acceptable and actually sold innocent people and broke up thousands of families just for some profit from the crops. It's disgusting.

This is so sad to see that kids are being taken away from their parents. I want see them  be taken from their parents for a day or two without them knowing to see how they feel. A mom is just holding her baby and you taking her/him away. If that baby was a new born it wouldn't survive.
