Reaction about the text "Selling negroes"

In English class, we studied a text entitled "Selling negreos". It is extracted from "Uncle Tom's Cabin" which was written by Harriet BEACHER STOWE in 1852.

The story deals with a woman called Hagar who fears she might be separated from his son Albert. She is so anxious because at first, she had a very large family but she had been separated from her children. The scene is during a slave public auction.

What makes me furious is the fact that the masters separated families without taking into account of the feelings from the mother to her child or children. I think the masters didn't comport themselves like human-beings when they do a so cruel separation.

Today, everyone knows how great are the feelings of a "black mother" to her children. She protect them until her die and I think that it is the result of mainy separations between mothers and children during slavery.
