The mid-15th century gave rise to the massive slave trades. Hoards of people were brought over to the United States as slaves to work in the tobacco and cotton fields amid other labor-intensive vocations. These people were considered property and were purchased from their native homelands in the African continent in exchange for weapons. The trade had become a profitable business for African kingdoms who used these weapons to wage war and capture more people from neighboring kingdoms which also then were sold into slavery. This is the story of the Transatlantic slave trade.
The slaves that were transported experienced deplorable conditions during their voyage that took months on end. And about 20% of them never made it alive. Those who made it suffered a harsh reality working long hours and the possibility of torture, or death, should they offer their masters the slightest bit of provocation or disobedience.
This slave trade was incredibly profitable for the traders, but an absolute misery to the slaves who were considered less than human beings. Come and learn about this great tragedy and the plight suffered by these people.
