African were taken out of their countries to be slave in new amsterdam, which is new york
the first 11 africans came in 1626. Slaves were bought and and sold like items.this wall was made because on the otherside of the wall belong to the Dutch. The wall was made in the same place we call wall street.Slaves were bought and sold at the foot of the wall. When slaves died they were buried in their own coffins. They weren't able to go in a group bigger than 12because the dutch thought they might run away. Also, they couldn't go at night because the white men thought they might away so they had to go at dusk. Some of the way they were punished were by getting hunged,whpped, or roasted alive. There is a lot of buildings over the burial ground. The burial ground was the first momument.When we saw the graves and our directer said"That 40% of them were children under the age of 12 and 9% of them were infants ages of 1 and 2 I felt bad and sad for those kids.
This is the abuse and terror that those people went through in life which sometimes wasn't that long.I think they went through too much.

Miles-
You need to be careful with capitalization.
Did you read your essay out loud? There is some information that is confusing: you mention "this wall" without explaining what wall you are talking about, and "our director," without sayin who this person is.
Your sentences are simple and easy to understand, but you need to make sure your information is too.

You have lots of good information, but you were supposed to write 4 paragraphs. Perhaps you could explain some of your information better?
