Antique diary of History

I’m a young man and I live in Africa and I was just going back after I caught a lion and behind me two people captured me in a net I was so scared and I layed the hand towards my family and I started to scream to make me hear but they didn’t, and the people who caught me brought me away until I couldn’t see my family anymore. After a few meters we arrived to the cost and there was a ship which was ready to sail and I saw other people like me which were imprisoned, and if they tried to talk or escape they’re being whipped. I didn’t want to go away from my family so I started to struggle and after a few tentative I finally broke the net I started to run as fast as I could, but already in front of me there was an English men which with a stick he beaten me very hard, and I lost my senses. When I finally woke up I was already in the ship which had just started to sail. In the first week of the trip it was sunny and so we remained in the deck and we had a pretty easy life even though we received small quantities of food. The second one was the hardest and a lot of people didn’t make it because it rained so we remained under the ship which it was a very dark room and we were all crunched together so a lot of people lost their lives because of suffocating. During the second week actually when we were down the ship a woman borne a child and this made us everybody happier. The last week it was again sunny and so we could finally stretch ourselves, but a bad notice arrived because the English men started to tie together several rocks and with strength they forced older and weak people and tied them to the rocks and one by one they were drowned. I was looking at this horrified and I started to hit an English men because of his brutality, but it wasn’t a good idea because the English men looked at me very angrily and started to whip me and I was about to die when a young women started to hit the English men and he got her and started to whip her until she was dead and then threw it away from the ship. After passing through the middle passage we arrived to America. When we arrived there were 20 men waiting us and as we arrived they started rubbing us with a strange substance called oil to make us younger and hide sign of illness. Then they make us go in platforms which they were called bidders and people started offering different prices until finally a rich landowner buyed me to work on his plantation. Arrived to the plantation I immediately was obligated to start to work, as I started to work I looked around and I saw black people like me that were sadly working and didn’t gain anything, while I was thinking about my family. We worked 15 hours a day without stopping and when we finally could go to rest we had as we can call them hovels which to my point of view they were horrible rooms, but there was nowhere else I could sleep so I started to prepare myself and then I went to sleep. I didn’t sleep and the next day I was slower than the other people working. Then the landowner come to see how we were doing and then he went furiously toward a person and started whipping him until he was dead, then he turned to us and tells us to stop watching and continue to work so we continued to work and when he went away I asked the person near me why did he kill it? And he responds to me that the landowner caught him eating some sugar. I remained a little bit shocked after this response and I thought how much will I need to work still and when I will see family again, but of one thing I was sure that nobody will never now what is happening to us and how they are treating us.
