Slaves were bought from tribes people from within Africa and sold to slave traders that cam and went on that coast. These slaves were bought into many harbors in America, primarily in the Southern States to be bought as workers in the cotton fields and other various minial jobs.

Two interesting points that I learn recently. Free Black Individuals were allowed (and did indeed) to own slaves in the south. Abe Lincoln never lived to see the end of slavery. He died shortly after the civil war ended. Slavery was not made illegal until the December after his death. The end of the civil war did not end slavery either.The slaves in northern states (yes, there were slaves states in the north during the war!) remained slaves after the war ended. Did you also know that there were black soldiers in the south during the war fighting against the north? The issue was a states rights issue.
