In some cases, the crews of slave ships took captive people they encountered in Africa, but apparently most were purchased from African slave dealers and governments. The slaves sold within Africa were mostly criminals, war captives, slaves purchased from other parts of Africa, heretics, and debtors. There is a source link below.

Roald Dahl traveled from England to Africa on the SS Mantola.
Yes. According to the information I have, the voyage from West Africa to the Caribbean or America usually took between six to eight weeks.
The name of the first slave will never be known. Most people don't know that before the explorers visited Africa and took slaves, Black Africans did in fact own slaves that were also black.
it took 6 months
The slaves, led by a man called Cinque, revolted against the crew. They killed the captain and the cook, and forced the 2 spanish slave owners to row them back to Africa. but during the day, the Spanish men rowed them east, but during the night they rowed north-west. It took 2 months before they reached America, but the slaves weren't put into prison, instead they were shipped back to Africa, as the slave ship was illegal.Hope that helped!
