The Slave Trade in Saint Louis

In this most recent article we read about how Bernard Lynch took part in the slave trade in the Saint Louis area. Bernard Lynch was a man that had no disregard for african american life. 

The author is trying to express and inform the point of how individuals were treated back when the slave trade was still taking place. The author was trying to let the reader understand the past history of how slaves were not treated as regular human beings but rather as items. 

This article can relate back to our class because we are learning about reparative justice and the ability to be able to learn about this helps show what our world is like now compared back then. It also pertains to our class because it is in the Saint Louis Area where we are also learning about the history of the Botanical garden and it is in the general vicinity of the garden. 

The audience of the article can pertain to anyone that wants to learn about the past of Saint Louis. They can learn about how Bernard Lynch was a slave trader and how he treated them. 

All in all, this article can pertain to our class because of the closeness it is to the garden. The audience of the article can pertain to anyone as long as they want to learn about the past.
