They were on ships from Africa. These were small ships, and the slaves were treated very harshly.
africans were often sold by nearby tribes. if there was a war and one tribe lost, they would often be sold to American slavers and then taken on a terrible boat ride over on the ocean. another way was to be plain out captured while maybe just walking through the woods. many people who were captured died on the ship. they were chained down, in the dark hole of the ship, in pain, not allowed to got to the bathroom or move. it was cramped and they often lay in their own vomit and waste. :( They were usually either sold in auctions in America or on islands like the Philippines or the carribean. (not completely sure about that part) it was horrible for them!!!
On boats.

Well this is just a guess but if they were forced to come to America to be slaves, maybe there owners payed for them?
Most of them had been born in America
Because they're black

Most slaves who were sent to North America came from Africa.

because
Since the US became independent of Britain as a result of the Revolutionary War, Britain did not come to set slaves free in America. It was not until after the Civil War that the slaves were freed by constitutional amendment.
