slave brutality

In Africa slave were traded for weapons and other things, so the tribes of Africa would catch people from other tribes and sell them to slave traders.  This would tear the African people from their families and cause emotional damage.

Then they were put into cages with hardly any food or water for as long as it took for a ship to get there.  Then they were loaded onto ships and crammed very tightly onto the bottom of the ships.  Many people died from disease or malnutrition during the journey.
 The ones who survived the journey went through painful examinations to be placed at a pay grade and then auctioned off to the highest bidder.  When they got to the farm they chained together in the field to prevent escape.

They were wiped if they did not do the right thing or they did not work up to standard.  Some slaves were even killed.  The brutality these people faced was horrific.
