Slaves were treated bad. Many were laid on their sides so they could fit more slaves on the ship. The women were raped by the slave owners, not many survived. If any slave got sick or died they were thrown overboard so they would not make other slaves sick. Slaves were brought about once a week on deck to be exercised so they would look healthy before being sold. The slave owners would put oil on the slaves mouth to make them look as if they ate. Many slaves risked their lives by throwing themselves overboard. Where the slaves slept on the ship there was no light, not much air, their were smells of dead bodies, vomit, and blood. Not many slaves survived, only a few made it to America. Thank you hope u enjoyed it...for more farther details on slaves watch the movie " roots" best movie ever main character is Kunta Kinte....but was renamed "Toby" by his owner.

How were slaves treated on their way to America?

Slaves were treated very badly on their way to America. They were packed shoulder to shoulder and by the time they got to America almost half of them were dead. They were often sold off by other African tribes that had captured them in feuds and battles. They were poorly fed and stuck in dark parts of the boat where cargo was stored. There was no proper ventilation, they were forced to eliminate in public and were bound by chains. This is all lies!! :)

How long did the Bible say before the slaves will leave America?

A:The Bible never mentions America or American slaves. However, the Thirteenth Amendment was ratified in 1865, resulting in freedom for all slaves in the United States. From that date, slaves no longer existed in America (although it took over a century for their descendants to be treated equally).
