people died because they would touchier them to death
There was alot of them
200 slaves were on a average ship
Slave traders used every available space to fit as many slaves as possible on a slave ship.
280
Over 1000 slaves!
There was 400 people on each ship
they caught a disease from the ship because it was dirty and smelly and they were chained up and then most of them died !
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.
Slaves didn't rebel on the slave ships. The slaves were chained and had to lay or sit in an odder. Slaves had to sit and lay like that for more then weeks. Some slaves didn't even make it through all of the trips. The dead slaves were more likely to be thrown of the ship to the sea. Many say that you can tell a slave ship by the sharks that follow it since everyday a dead dead slave would be thrown off the ship making the sharks have something to eat.
