Chapter 14 (Second Half)

Ayuba Suleiman Diallo was a Muslim african he would help his father turn in slaves to Europeans for trade but they came into a disagreement and he found somebody else to trade for some cows but when him and his company was resting they was captured , they hair was shave and was shipped to Maryland with other slaves . We went to jai for being a runaway . A lawyer saw that he wasn't just any slave so the philanthropist brought is freedom . When got home he found out that his father died but his wives and children was there with welcome arms and he went back to being a slave owner .  I don't understand how a man can go back to being a slave owner after experience being a slave and going though things being beating , hard labor , and being treated like a animal and just thought of as marketing produce and not humans .
