Africans were captured for enslavement through various means including raids, warfare, kidnapping, and trade with European slave traders. They were often sold by fellow Africans or European slave traders to work on plantations in the Americas. The transatlantic slave trade was brutal and dehumanizing, resulting in the forced migration of millions of Africans.
Africans and their descendants resisted enslavement through various methods, such as running away and forming maroon communities, engaging in acts of sabotage and rebellion, practicing cultural retentions and expressions of resistance, and seeking legal means of challenging their enslavement through courts and petitions. These forms of resistance were essential in maintaining a sense of autonomy and dignity in the face of enslavement.

The enslavement of Africans in the 17th century was different from previous forms of slavery in that it was based on race, with Africans being specifically targeted for bondage. This racialized form of slavery led to the development of the transatlantic slave trade, where millions of Africans were forcibly transported to the Americas to work on plantations. Additionally, African slaves in this period were often subjected to harsher treatment and enduring chattel slavery, meaning they were treated as property for life.
