Reply:They were often sold by family members.
Reply:the westerners lured them with chocolate
Reply:the slave brokers landed at specific locations on the western coast of africa, major port cities, and let it be known they were interested in buying slaves. Africans then went out and captured their enemies, their neighbors, or pretty much any other africans they could get their hands on, and brought them to the port stations to sell them.





The middle passage refers to loading up a big pile of slaves onto a boat and sailing them to the slave markets in North, Central, and South America. The quarters were dark and cramped, the slaves were kept chained and given very little food and had to sit and sleep in their own piss and crap
