Hell and despair are upon me, crack again and crack the marksman, I clutch the rails of the fence, my gore dribs, thinn’d with the ooze of my skin. I fall on the weeds and stones. The riders spur their unwilling horses, haul close, Taunt my dizzy ears and beat me violently over the head with whip-stocks. Agonies are one of my changes of garments, I do not ask the wounded person how he feels, I myself become the wounded person. My hurts turn livid upon me as I lean on a cane and observe. Walt Whitman / The plan of a slave-ship, showing the conditions in which slaves crossed the Atlantic. The slave trade was abolished by Great Britain in 1807, and other countries were persuaded to follow suit in 1815.
