Answer 1

tell the people about how dehumanizing and torturing it is to be a slave of another man.

Step-by-step explanation:

If I were a fugitive slave, I would tell the people about how dehumanizing and torturing it is to be a slave of another man. The treatment I received as a slave was so intolerable that I no longer felt like a human being.

I would tell them that I felt like a beast of burden without any human dignity. And that is why I had to run away from those who had chained me because it was worth living a free life without food than being tortured for a handful of food.

I want to make the people realize that freedom and liberty is an inborn right as well as a desire of every human being which makes a man/woman happy and dignified.
