To Be Sold To Slave Traders
Most of the slaves sent to the Americas originally came from West and Central Africa. They were captured and sold by African slave traders to European slave traders, who then transported them across the Atlantic Ocean to be enslaved in the New World colonies.
The slaves were purchased at auctions, from another slave owner, or in some cases, they were inherited. The buyers checked to make sure the slave was healthy and without any defects physical. Slave traders brought the slaves over in large boats from Africa.
Economically, slavery was a boon to many. First, African tribesmen captured other blacks and sold them to European slave traders. The capturers benefited financially from these transactions by receiving gold, silver, weapons, etc... The slave traders loaded up shiploads of slaves and sold them to slave owners, receiving money in return. The slave owners benefited from slave labor for the life of the slave without having to pay a salary.
