What Caribbean nations did slaves go to?
Having just been on the Roots tour of St James Island in the Gambia we were advised that slaves from Mandinka or Mandingo communities were often loaded onto ships first as other tribes from different regions were loaded afterwards and the slave ship would often visit other embarcation points such as Goree in Senegal. This delay in what were horrific conditions of confinement made the Mandinka more susceptible to disease and death and so they were often offloaded at the first port of call in the Caribbean which happened to be Barbados. Jamaican slaves tended to be from Yoruba (Nigeria & Benin), Ashanti (Ghana), Mandingo (Mali, Senegal, Guinea, Cote D'Ivoire) and Coramantee (Gold Coast) tribes. St Lucia certainly had slaves with Coramantee origins too. Slave owners would often choose slaves from certain tribes according to their characteristics eg strength, disease resistance, compliance etc.
