Tribes sold their own members and others sold the people they won a war against in Africa. Most had a long walk to the ships that would transport them to parts of the world where they would be sold. Roughly 3 million slaves were shipped during the late 1600's; a quarter million died on the voyage. Once landed, it was mostly luck as to what kind of owner and work expected that each person got. Certainly, it took stamina and strength to endure the trip much less work the plantations in the Americas.
