  2. How life was cruel for slaves The slaves were captured by the Americans they didn’t have a choice of going or not they were caught like animals they were locked up, lots of people in one room all tied up they had little to eat and pregnant women if they give birth they would throw them in the ocean after the long journey they were brought to the auctions where people looked at the slaves one by one and sold.

  3. What they did to express their feelings • The slaves had a cruel life and nothing but work to do to get their minds of that and to express their unhappiness and cruel life they sang songs and played instrument which would be drums. The blues was sang by the African slaves and carried on by other people.
