In the true story of a freed slave named Venture Smith, he tells of an Irishman named Heddy who too was a slave who came up with the idea of running away together. Heddy thought they would have a better chance if they were there to help and support each other. Unfortunately they were eventually captured and punished. Logically speaking, even today looking at countries at was it is not uncommon for people to flee with other tribes or nationalities... even when a war breaks out for example in Sierra Leone, the British flights sent to take their citizens were happy to help commonwealth citizens leave too. This is not a complete answer. The reference for Venture Smith can be found if one searches for Project Gutenberg ebooks.

Why did settlements start using slaves?
Settlements started using slaves to give Africans a better life. Many Africans at the time lived under brutal warlords, who would often sacrifice people to the gods. The Europeans were appalled at this practice, so they took as many Africans as they could to the New World with them. The Europeans soon realized that they could not afford to continue feeding the Africans, and the Africans did not understand European culture enough to feed themselves. So the European's met with the peaceful tribal leaders of the Africans, and together the decided that a system of servitude for food, clothing, and housing for labor would be fair. Contrary to propaganda spread during the American Civil War, most "slaves" (as the northerner's called them) were very content with their lives, and were upset by the outcome of the Civil War.
