Answer:
1. I looked around myself, bound by a pair of chains. I heard the shouts of older white men around me, each tossing my fate in the air with the sounding of their lips. Five other slaves next to me, in the same position as I. Waiting like a group of sitting ducks to be sold to our new masters, our new homes. There was a younger girl crying for her mother in another language. Scared to fill the slots of their relatives before them, and step in to wear their shoes.
2. During interviews, and through the usage of imagery, you can find gruesome depictions of slavery, the inhumane practices of auctions, and much more. Sometimes the individuals that were being sold were missing articles of clothing, or did not have proper attire. They did not always have shoes, or socks, or anything to protect them from rocks, slinters, or anything else of that sort. Women and children were separated, families torn to pieces. The saddest part is that not all slaveholders were honorable, or even had integrity to pay their slaves wages. Even if promised beforehand.
3. I would call this time in history, "To Sell A Soul," because that's what we were really doing. Buying humans like cheap objects at the goodwill.
