People were not slaves in Africa, but free people. They were sold into slavery by tribes they were at war with or captured by in a war. When a slave arrived in America their name was taken away from them, they were not allowed to speak their native language, nor pray to their gods. Families were often broken up because when a child was old enough he/she was sold and wives or husbands were sold away from each other. Many slaves had been important people in their own lands and could read, write, and command others, but all of this was taken away from them as slaves in America. Slavery in the American colonies made people into property and took away everything that makes a person human.
