during the slave trade most slaves came from Africa
Slaves were bought and traded at will in the days of slavery in the south. There is no way to know where exactly slaves in any region came from, it would simply depend on the year in question, which counties, which plantations; and then look at records (if any) to try to trace those slaves back to the ship they came on, which is most likely impossible.However it should be noted that all slaves that came to the Caribbean and then to the United States were predominantly from Western Africa where the proper conditions like the help of local African governments made slave trading lucrative and profitable.For more information on the slave trade, how it was done and the main areas where it happened:A Microcosm of why Africans Sold Slaves: Akan Consumption Patterns in the 1770s.Author(s): George MetcalfSource: The Journal of African History, Vol. 28, No. 3 (1987), pp. 377-394Published by: Cambridge University Presshttp://www.jstor.org/stable/182191

Life on a sugar plantation for enslaved individuals was one of harsh labor, poor living conditions, and constant control by slave owners. Enslaved individuals worked long hours in the fields, endured physical punishments, and were deprived of basic human rights and freedoms. The oppressive conditions on sugar plantations perpetuated the cycle of violence, exploitation, and degradation endured by enslaved people.

The slaves brought their culture with them. Just because a person is made property, sold, and chained doesn't mean that they forget where they come from or who they are. Many slaves were leaders, educated, and trained soldiers.
Because it was handy for sailors to stop off for supplies on route to the Americas
The first slaves came to what is now the United States in 1526 by Lucas Vasquez de Ayllons in an attempt to colonize what is now know as North Carolina.
though slavery was around in some form for most of recorded history, the first slaves in America came from Africa's Gold Coast. They were captured there and transported to America to supply cheap labor for the developing southern plantations.
Most were bought in parts of north carolina, south carolina and virginia. The slaves in alabama are the first born on american soil, also there was a migration of whites going to alabama because of the fertillity of the soil and they took I there alaves
When slaves were forced to come to America and work on plantations, they brought their music, folktales, and spirituals with them, just as we would bring our music with us if we were captured and sold to a foreign country. These spiritual have influenced our gospel music today.
