And for those who want to know about slavery-history in America:
Even before European settlers introduced slavery to America, many Native American tribes were engaged in human trafficking among themselves. They used to abduct members of other tribes for worship and sacrifice purposes; or, sometimes, to find a mate for the tribe’s chief.
During the 16th century, a new phenomenon took place: Slaves who were originally from different places from Africa found themselves unable to communicate in their new “home” since they spoke different languages. Thus, The slave communities developed local cultures, retained many original customs, and also developed additional customs. They developed various Creole language, musical styles, dance styles, and other cultural products based on a connection between African, indigenous, and even gentlemen’s cultures. The capoeira from Brazil, for example, evolved because they were forbidden to the slaves to practice fighting, and so the slaves incorporated music and dance movements into the martial arts so that they did not arouse suspicion while practicing.
With the conquest of South America, the conquistadors attempted to harness Indians to slavery, but these died in droves from European-borne illnesses. Also, upon their conversion to Christianity, they were granted the protection of the Spanish Crown and the Church. Alas, the slave traders turn to Africa to meet the evergrowing demand from the New World. In turn, the high demand for slaves resulted in a significant increase in trade and devastating damage to the social fabric of West Africa.
There is a claim that the rise in sugar consumption in Europe and the addiction of Europeans to sweets have created peak demand for sugarcane crops, land, and working hands.
Many slaves-to-be were abducted by local merchants, rival tribes, or tragically, sometimes, even sold by their family members.
About 15% of slaves did not survive the journey of crossing the Atlantic. According to the study, a total of 10,702,656 slaves arrived in America.
