This is a picture made by Tom Feelings. This picture shows a slave chained up. This also possibly shows slaves trying to escape and the owners chasing after them. Many slaves tried to escape when they were owned and many escaped. However, many got captured and when they got back to the plantation it was way worse of for them then before they left. Some slaves when they were in the boats in the Middle Passage would jump off because they figured life would be better dead than living as slaves for the rest of their lives.
