A field worker slave typically worked in agricultural fields or plantations, performing manual labor such as planting, tending to crops, and harvesting.

How did Africans enslave people?

Africans were involved in the transatlantic slave trade, capturing people from rival tribes or through warfare and selling them to European slave traders in exchange for goods or money. This trade was facilitated by the demand for labor in the Americas for agricultural work, leading to millions of Africans being forcibly taken from their homes and sent into slavery.


Why were Africans targeted during slavery?

Africans were targeted during the transatlantic slave trade primarily due to their perceived physical strength, agricultural skills, and resistance to diseases prevalent in the Americas. European colonizers exploited the existing slave trade networks in Africa to supply cheap labor for their plantations and expand their wealth and power. The racist ideology of white supremacy also played a significant role in justifying the enslavement of Africans.


Why did the slave trade people migrate?

They didn't migrate. . Since the dawn of man there have been slaves. Slaves were often taken in war and bought and sold in markets of the ancient world. The bible refers to slaves, so it has been around for over 10,000 years. Today slavery still exists in many parts of the world.


What ways did the African slave system differ from the colonial slave system?
