The Amistad was a Spanish slave ship that was overtaken by the African captives aboard in 1839. The ship was eventually intercepted by the US Navy and the Africans were taken into custody in Connecticut, sparking a legal battle over whether they were considered property or free individuals.
When slaves were brought ashore from slave ships, they were usually inspected, cleaned, and separated before being sold at auctions. The slaves were then auctioned off to the highest bidder, typically plantation owners or slave traders, who would then use them for labor in fields, mines, or households.
Slaves were taken away from their homes largely due to the transatlantic slave trade, where they were forcibly captured and transported to work in the Americas. This brutal practice was driven by the demand for cheap labor to support industries like agriculture and mining.
Slaves were taken from their homeland through various means including capture during warfare, kidnapping, raids on villages, and through trade with other tribes or nations. European slave traders also played a significant role in the transatlantic slave trade by capturing or purchasing slaves from African kingdoms and societies.

A slave fort, also known as a slave dungeon or castle, is a historic site where enslaved Africans were held captive before being transported to the Americas during the transatlantic slave trade. These forts were used by European colonial powers, such as the Portuguese, Dutch, British, and Spanish, as holding and processing centers for enslaved individuals. Many of these forts still exist along the coast of West Africa and serve as reminders of this dark chapter in history.
