Transalantic Report

The majority of slaves in the 1450`s were Transalantic slaves.From 1450 the the late 1800`s transatlantic slaves were legal! However on new years day 1801 Transalantic slaves became illegal!

The Liverpool merchant went to Barbados from Liverpool,the English went over with lots of produce and things.When they got to Barbados they traded produce for slaves!So when the English took the Africans on the ship they were not in a good condition.The slaves did not get the supplies they needed to live.Most slaves died on the ship however eventually the English got n trouble for trading the Africans.

When the slaves got captured the had a mouth piece and a necklace with hooks on it so,they couldn't`t sleep or escape.The mouth  piece kept the tongue down so the slaves could not eat or even drink their own seliver! They had shackles round their ankles and chains around their hands.The African slaves really couldn't do many things.

Transalantic slavery is just as bad as Egyptian slavery,they both were extremely cruel.I think slavery anywhere is not ok!It should never happen.
