What countries exported the most slaves to America?
At the height of the slave trade, Africa did not have nationalistic countries as we think of them, today. There were large areas of the continent that were controlled by particular tribes. Originally, most of the slaves came from West Africa, but as the practice spread, West African Tribes began enslaving East Africans and transporting them to the Gold Coast. Eventually, even the slave ships ventured to the eastern coast of Africa, and traded in slave to India and the Middle East as well.
What do you think led to the south defeat in the civil war explain?
They simply ran out of men and supplies. The blockade had increasingly starved them of the imports they needed, and Grant's ending of the system of prisoner-exchange meant that the Confederate lines would become too thin to hold. Their only hope was that Lincoln might lose the 1864 election (which he feared he would). But Sherman and Sheridan delivered some timely victories which restored Northern morale.
