They didn't. They were captured and sold into slavery, survived a horrid trip to wherever their captors took them, arrived dazed, starved, and shackled, and were sold again. Once at work on their new owner's property, they were kept there through fear, threats against their families, and murder. Many attempted escape, but few managed it.
