I WAS A SLAVE IN AMERICA UNTIL 2009
When the black people was shackled in their homeland Africa and brought here to this country America history was written. Each one probably had families of their own. After they were forced here from their country they were in a state of shock and horrifying fear.
It was entirely a different situation than in their country.
In 1517 the Trans Atlantic slave trade officially began. During the seventeenth and eighteenth century, the demand for slaves was at its peak. European slave traders quickly provided the labor…

On one voyage, a ship of thirty crewmen and almost three hundred slave men, women and children took at least six weeks to come from Africa to the Americas.

The journey was long: this caused diseases to be contracted.
The slaves were kept below the deck before and during bad weather. Crewmen would then come to check on them after a storm has passed over. There they would find dead slaves entangled with slaves that
