How did slave traders capture and transport African slaves during the transatlantic slave trade?

Most were captured in inter-tribal wars, and then sold on, or by warlords who had quotas to fill. When the slave trade was at its height slave traders in the ports would send out requests for a certain number of slaves and the intermediaries would travel and collect them and sell them on until they reached the port. Sometimes they bribed the chiefs, sometimes they stole them at gunpoint.

Thus they might go through several owners along the way. Very few, if any, would be captured by the trading ships.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
