This source is an illustration from 1853, which shows a

slave auction in progress. This source suggest that slavery was wrong because husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, parents and even children were being sold off to slave owners like they were an object or an animal, not a person. For example, it says "husbands, wives, and families sold indiscriminately to different purchases, are violently separated - probably to never meet again." This is saying that people are sold to different buyers, turned into slaves, separated from their families and gets taken away forever. These slaves will probably never get to see their families ever again. This is evidence to support the abolition of slavery because as humans, we have rights and we are allowed to spend time with our families and be with them. We shouldn't be treated like animals or numbers, auctioned to people or separated from our loved ones. Slaves are real people who deserve to be treated like every other person.

The source is an illustration from 1853, which shows slaves being branded by their owners. This source suggest that slavery was wrong because slaves were being branded and claimed as a possession when they shouldn't be because they are people, not objects. For example, the image shows a slave owner using a branding tool to brand his slaves. This shows that after the slaves were sold to their owners, they were branded with the owner’s initials so that the slave could be returned back if they ever escaped. This is evidence to support the abolition of slavery because people should never be owned. The poor slaves in this illustration are seen in very little clothing that is not suitable for working conditions. They look helpless and scared. People should never be claimed and/or branded by anyone or anything. People have the right to be free.

The source is an illustration from the 1800's, which shows chained slaves marching to the coast where they will get sold. This source suggests that slavery was wrong because people were being chained by the neck to one another like they were dogs. For example, it shows multiple people including young children being chained and held together while an African dealer stands nearby with an object that looks like a gun in their hand. This is evidence to support the abolition of slavery because people should never be treated like animals and be chained by the neck to each other. In this illustration, you can see both children and adults in very little or even no clothing, walking in line to a place where they are going to get sold off to slave owners and get treated very poorly. People aren't objects that can you just throw and play around with.

The source is a photo from the 1860's, which show a family of slaves who work in the cotton fields. This source suggests that slavery was wrong because each person is in very poor and dirty clothing. These items of clothes could carry bacteria and diseases that could make them sick and could possibly kill them. For example, the mother and father are dressed in rag liked clothes that look super dirty and are surrounding the children which could easily spread whatever is in or on the clothes to the young children. This is evidence to support the abolition of slavery because these children are so young and have a life ahead of them but they are being forced into slavery, treated very poorly, being put in bad conditions, surrounded by bacteria and diseases and having their childhood along with their life taken away from them. They all look so miserable and just want someone to dive in and pull them out of a hole that they didn't choose to fall in.

The source is an illustration from the late 18th century, which shows a woman on her knees in chains, begging. This source suggests that slavery was wrong because there are so many men and women who have families and is a brother, sister, son, daughter, mother or father. For example, its says "am i not a woman and a sister." This shows that slaves are people and they do have normal lives with friends and family. This is evidence to support the abolition of slavery because slaves are people who deserve to live life like the majority of the rest so being forced into slavery and being taken away from their families isn't fair and it destroys a basic human right. Slaves deserve to be allowed to be a human and a loved family member.

The source is a photo from the 1800's, which shows a young boy chain and tied uncomfortably to a pole. This source suggests that slavery was wrong because young boys should be out playing in the yard and being boys however since this poor boy has been captured and forced into slavery, he cant be a boy. He has his how life ahead of him but due to the bad conditions and the way he is being treated, he can easily get sick, badly bruised and or die. For example, it shows the boy laying on the ground tied up against a pole with his arms a legs in a very uncomfortable position. His head and neck is positioned badly and his right arm is placed underneath his whole body which would cut a lot a circulation off his arm. This is evidence to support the abolition of slavery because people especially young children shouldn't be tied up and chained to a pole for no reason. That is taking away the boys freedom and human right. He should be out and about living his live and running around with his friends, not chained to a pole getting beaten by masters.
