The Africans that were bought or stolen and sent to America to be slaves stayed in America because they had no way to return to Africa. Many slaves tried to escape at some point of their journey, by means of suicide or fleeing; but, to return to Africa they would have needed ships and captains willing to transport them. Finding these things would have been virtually impossible.

Why the black is the slavery in America?

Slavery not only existed in America but in many places in the world. In many places it serfdom had replaced it. Still it was accepted. It existed almost worldwide. It existed in Europe, Africa, The Arab World, and The Americas. The Spanish enslaved Indians and killed many of them and then replaced them with black people. Slave ships then started going up the coast of America continuing selling slaves after they had sold slaves to the Spanish Colonies. So America simply joined a movement with wide support throughout the world.

What were the conditions like on the boats that carred the slaves from Africa to the US?

Slaves going from Africa to the US were under very harsh conditions. Sleeping conditions were basically side by side with absolutely no room to even roll over.

Really only approximately 2/3 of the Africans made it to America alive.
