So it's this big fort, really, and in the middle of it is a church, and then on either side, there were two chambers-- one for women, one for men-- where the slaves were held, and in the courtyard, the women were chained to a cannonball by the ankle, and they were selected to be raped by the governor or they were raped by the guards.

So it's this big fort, really,
00:00:04.375 --> 00:00:06.375
and in the middle
00:00:04.375 --> 00:00:06.375
of it is a church,
00:00:06.459 --> 00:00:09.709
and then on either side,
00:00:06.459 --> 00:00:09.709
there were two chambers--
00:00:09.792 --> 00:00:11.459
one for women,
00:00:09.792 --> 00:00:11.459
one for men--
00:00:11.542 --> 00:00:13.917
where the slaves were held,
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:15.625
and in the courtyard,
00:00:15.709 --> 00:00:20.125
the women were chained
00:00:15.709 --> 00:00:20.125
to a cannonball by the ankle,
00:00:20.209 --> 00:00:23.584
and they were selected
00:00:20.209 --> 00:00:23.584
to be raped by the governor
00:00:23.667 --> 00:00:26.005
or they were raped
00:00:23.667 --> 00:00:26.005
by the guards.
00:00:26.584 --> 00:00:29.667
These women had no right
00:00:26.584 --> 00:00:29.667
to say no
00:00:29.075 --> 00:00:32.834
for the rest of their lives,
00:00:32.917 --> 00:00:36.959
and so I think more than half
00:00:32.917 --> 00:00:36.959
of the women were pregnant
00:00:37.002 --> 00:00:40.834
by the time they got on the boat
00:00:37.002 --> 00:00:40.834
for the middle passage.
