One of the most disconcerting features of Smith's forced removal was watching them kill his father. Also the first thing they do when finding him was hit him and tie a rope around his neck. Some factors that helped adjust him to his new life was that the boat ride to rode island had been a comfortable passage. By not being put into slavery right away and staying with the master's sister, helped him adjust to his new life also. Smith started out with small jobs and as his master began to trust him he was given harder tasks.
