Best Answer

Kidnapped from their native lands, the Africans formed bonds with other tribes while making the Middle Passage. For some, this is how they survived. About 15% of the slaves died on board the slave ships. As many as two million people may have died during the middle passage. The duration of the voyage went from about six months in the beginning to about six weeks, improving the chance of survival. Some attempted self starvation due to melancholy and the loss of their families, others attempted to jump from the ship into the sea.

In the 1860's African Americans were still considered to be slaves and any discrimination was overlooked. They had no legal means to fight the discrimination and it won't be until 1964 with the passage of the civil rights act that discrimination became illegal.
