After reading the passage answer the following question. (this is on pg 81 of the workbook)


"Where [Godly] schools are not vigorously encouraged, whole colonies will sink into a degenerate and contemptible condition, and become horribly barbarous. You will therefore pardon my freedom with you, if I address you in the words of Luther: "If ever there be any considerable blow given to the Devil's Kingdom, it must be by youth excellently educated. It is a serious thing, a weighty thing, and a thing that hath much of the interest of Christianity in it, that youth be well-trained, and that schools, and school-masters be maintained. Learning is an unwelcome guest to the Devil, and therefore he would fain starve it out."


-Cotton Mather

An account of Dr. Thomas Trotter of his experiences working on a slave ship in 1790 and his response to the question "Do slaves have room to turn themselves?"


"No. The slaves that are out of irons are locked to one another. It is the duty of the first mate to see them stowed in this manner every morning; those which do not get quickly in to their places are compelled by the whip when stowed in this manner, and when the ship had much motion at sea, they were often miserably bruised against the deck or against each other. I have seen their chests heaving and observed them draw their breath, with all those laborious and anxious efforts for life which we observe in expiring animals subjected by experiment to bad air of various kinds."
