I am trying to write a novel About a Boy from Nigeria taken as a slave. When were slaves taken from here.
?
Many of the Africans taken to the Americas as slaves were Muslims, so Muslims can be (or at least were) slaves.
Nigeria
Liberia is largely populated by freed slaves
Slaves for the plantations
many were babies, they would get taken from their mothers and then they are slaves, they would work their butts off.
9.5 million.
Nigeria
yesbut they are refered to as maids or butlers
Ibo people in eastern Nigeria
many slaves were taken from the West Coast of Africa. Their chiefs were bribed with alcohol and weapons made by the British. They were taken to America where they worked on the cotton plantations and, to a lesser extent, coffee plantations
