it's size
There were so many slaves packed on board a ship; The slave dealers wanted to sell as many as possible for more money.
The slaves would be thrown into the deck of the ship where there would have been no space, light or dryness because there were so many of them. Many slaves died as a result of this and because of deadly diseases being passed from slave to slave. Stories tell of how one captain of a slave ship, hung up a female black slave by her foot and then whipped her because she refused to dance naked on the deck of his ship - an invasion of privacy.
