African captives at the factories along the Atlantic coast were subjected to brutal conditions as they awaited transport to the Americas. They were often held in cramped, inhumane spaces, enduring physical abuse, disease, and malnutrition. Many were sold to European traders, who shipped them across the Atlantic in the transatlantic slave trade, leading to the horrific experience of the Middle Passage. This dehumanizing process stripped individuals of their identities and subjected them to a life of forced labor and exploitation in the New World.

Great Britain also banned the African slave trade in 1807, but the trade of African captives to Brazil and Cuba continued until the 1860s. By 1865, some 12 million Africans had been shipped across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas, and more than one million of these individuals had died from mistreatment during the voyage. In addition, an unknown number of Africans died in slave wars and forced marches directly resulting from the Western Hemisphere’s demand for enslaved people.
