The transatlantic journey for enslaved Africans, known as the Middle Passage, typically took between six to eight weeks. However, the duration could vary based on factors such as weather, ship conditions, and the specific route taken. Some voyages were shorter, while others could last several months, especially if there were delays or detours. The experience was often brutal and overcrowded, leading to high mortality rates during the passage.
The most potentially fatal danger was that Colombus and his crews on the three exploration ships furnished by the Spanish Crown would be victims of the Atlantic Ocean. Colombus had never attempted such a long voyage. They were in fact travelling into "uncharted waters".
The Atlantic trade, particularly the transatlantic slave trade, had profound effects on Africa, leading to significant demographic shifts as millions of people were forcibly removed from their communities. This loss of population disrupted local economies and social structures, contributing to increased warfare and instability as rival factions sought to capture slaves. Additionally, the trade facilitated the introduction of European goods, which altered traditional trade networks and created dependencies on foreign commodities. Overall, the Atlantic trade contributed to long-lasting economic, social, and political changes across the continent.
4-8 weeks my darling!!!
They turned to African slaves because they were already used to the European diseases, had farming experience, and had no trace of relatives to refuse their enslavement.
Slavery has occurred for a long time throughout history, and all sorts of groups have been enslaved. The majority of slaves don't necessarily originate from any single location. But the term slave did come from Vikings capturing and selling of Slavic peoples back around the 500's, (notice that slavery did occur prior to that). Since that time, slavery has occurred all over the globe within all sorts of cultures, so a geographical location from which slaves most come from doesn't exist. If you want to be fancy about it... most slaves come from "oppression".
