More than 60 million slaves were put into one boat, very squashed inside one boat and every day 1 or 2 slaves would die and they would throw them in the sea!
The above is sooo wrong! Obviously, 60 million slaves weren't put into one boat! Some slaves would die in the ship. Slaves would throw themselves off the ship! The crew didn't throw them!
Back to the question.... Slaves were captured by other Africans.
West Africa
The Portuguese had ties with Kingdom Kongo who started exporting slaves in 1650.
Slaves were captured through raids, warfare, and kidnapping in Africa, then transported to the Americas via ships in horrific conditions known as the Middle Passage. They were sold at auctions to plantation owners and traders once they arrived at their destination, being treated as property to be bought and sold.
first the europeans sailed to Africa and captured save and then travelled from Africa to America were they would sell the slaves for money
Niger Nigeria Tchad and Liberia
Not much difference. Africans captured Africans and either kept them, sold them to other Africans, or sold them to whites.
Yes the kings of the African tribes on the West Coat of Africa became very rich by selling slaves they had captured to the slave traders.
they were captured and forced to work. if they didnt ,they would get beat and double their work
Most were captured by rival tribes and sold to slave traders in West Africa, who transported many slaves to the Caribbean and the colonies in the American South.
