When slaves were brought ashore from slave ships, they were usually inspected, cleaned, and separated before being sold at auctions. The slaves were then auctioned off to the highest bidder, typically plantation owners or slave traders, who would then use them for labor in fields, mines, or households.

The Amistad.
A slave fort, also known as a slave dungeon or castle, is a historic site where enslaved Africans were held captive before being transported to the Americas during the transatlantic slave trade. These forts were used by European colonial powers, such as the Portuguese, Dutch, British, and Spanish, as holding and processing centers for enslaved individuals. Many of these forts still exist along the coast of West Africa and serve as reminders of this dark chapter in history.
It is estimated that around 5 to 6 million slaves were taken from Kenya during the transatlantic slave trade.
