Slaves in the Horn of Africa were used for a variety of tasks, including agricultural work, domestic labor, and military service. They were often traded as commodities and faced harsh conditions, including forced labor, abuse, and exploitation. Many tried to escape or resist their enslavement through various means.
The first settlement in Africa for freed slaves was Freetown in Sierra Leone. It was established in 1787 as a resettlement for freed slaves from Britain and the Americas.
Slaves in Africa were traded primarily for goods such as textiles, beads, weapons, alcohol, and other commodities. The transatlantic slave trade involved the exchange of slaves for manufactured goods, rum, firearms, and other items by European colonizers.
Members of the American Colonization Society wanted to send freed slaves to Africa because they believed that it would be a solution to racial tensions in the United States. They also wanted to encourage the spread of Christianity and Western civilization in Africa through the establishment of a colony for freed slaves.
Slaves from Africa were primarily used to cultivate cash crops such as sugar, tobacco, cotton, and rice on plantations in the Americas. They were also involved in mining, construction, and domestic work.
Slaves from Africa were often preferred over indigenous slaves because they were viewed as better suited for agricultural labor due to their experience in farming and working in tropical climates. Additionally, African slaves were more resistant to diseases like malaria that were prevalent in the Caribbean and Americas, making them more valuable to plantation owners.
