Enslavement People became slaves in various ways; Many were prisoners captured in war (POWs) Some were kidnapped Some had broken the law & were enslaved as a punishment Others were sold to pay off a debt At first, European traders came onto the African coast and tried to capture slaves themselves middlemen They soon found it was easier to trade with middlemen The African middlemen often captured slaves miles inland and marched them to the coast The African middlemen often captured slaves miles inland and marched them to the coast Selling them meant a long hard journey on foot Selling them meant a long hard journey on foot

Slave Factories - summary Enslaved people were kept in huge forts until they could be put onto ships when sold slave factories These were called slave factories Africa’s Gold Coast (Ghana) There was a chain of 30 stone forts along Africa’s Gold Coast (Ghana) The slaves usually spent a few months here Conditions were shocking malaria Killer Diseases like malaria were very common near rivers It is estimated that in the 1770s, 45% of enslaved Africans died before they could even get on the ship for the middle passage
14
Primary Sources As we move through the primary source material, gather information to put on a mind map Africa: Slave Capture & Slave Factories
15
Equiano describes his capture They often attacked while our parents were absent They carried us into the woods and marched us for two days. When the grown ups were in the field to work, the children played. Some of us usually climbed trees to watch out for kidnappers. They often attacked while our parents were absent. Three people climbed over a wall, seized my sister and me and gagged us. They carried us into the woods and marched us for two days. On the third day my sister was taken away. I never saw her again.
16
Scottish explorer Mungo Park describes a slave caravan he saw in 1796 The slaves were terrified. The slave merchants keep them constantly in irons, and watch them very closely lest they escape. They are usually secured by putting the left leg of one and the right leg of another in the same pair of fetters. Every four slaves are fastened together by the neck, with a strong rope. At night another pair of fetters is put round their wrists. Fetters: Shackles for the ankles or feet

Slave factories were heavily fortified to prevent them from attack – e.g. El Mina Castle in Ghana

Description of slaves arriving at the factories, by a Dutch trader When slaves are brought from inland countries, they are put in prison together. When we buy them, they are thoroughly examined by our surgeons. Those which are approved as goods were set on one side; in the meantime a branding iron, with the name of the company lies on the fire. Our slaves are burned on the chest after we have agreed a price with the owners of the slaves.
21
Slaves were branded to stop African traders swapping slaves

Extract from “The Shameful Trade” by F. Kay, 1967 The slaves were held until the weather was suitable for them to be transferred onboard the ship. This could take up to 2 weeks. They were fed bananas, yams, millet and boiled beans. During this period they were kept in wooden compounds or in underground cells.
