The West Indians are decendants of slaves who either escaped or were released from slavery in the colonies of Britain in America and the Carribean. There was no slavery in Britain at that time, but the British did capture west Africans and supply them as slaves to the plantations of these Colonies.
Slavery made the plantation owners rich. Africans were a great source of cheap labor. However they were treated horribly.http://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/ism/slavery/archaeology/caribbean/

Study shows that there was an impact on both the West Indies and on West Africa. The impact on West Africa for the most part was just negative, while the West Indies received alot of positive impacts due to the factor : Slavery. West Africa suffered a population decrease, while due to slavery the West Indies' population was increasing. Since the Europeans were trading with the Africans, the Africans were getting guns and other weapons which caused them to lower their values because they were killing up their own people in tribal wars, while the Europeans were trading the African for slaves that they used as laborers on their plantations to make themselves wealthier. In conclusion, I have found out that slavery has had an impact on both West Africa and the West Indies. However, the impact in the Americas or West Indies was positive, while the impact was negative for the Africans of West Africa.
Africans who were enslaved experienced immense suffering, trauma, and loss of freedom. Many resisted slavery through acts of defiance, rebellion, and escape, as well as by maintaining cultural practices and forms of resistance. The legacies of slavery continue to impact African communities worldwide.
Most West Africans live in Nigeria.
