Descriptive

This graph shows the percent of the African Region in Africa. This graph has multiple

countries that Africa has to show the percentage of how many slaves were found or the

population of slave in these countries. It looks like between Africans only, Missing, and Africans

only seem to have had the most slaves out of all these other countries. Gold Coast was the

country that had the least slaves.

Interpretive

This graph shows that Missing is about 78%, which was the most out of all the rest of the

countries. Senegambia is about 12%, which was the second to have more slaves as well. Sierra

Leone is about 3%,is not the least but is close to being the least. Gold Coast is 0%, which is the

least to have slaves in the African Region. Bight of Benin is about 6%,because there werent

that many slaves in this particular country. Bight of Biafra is about 1%, which is next to last to

being the least to have slaves. Central Africa is about 8%, which is one of the four that had themost slaves. Mozambique is 0%, Nation Unidentified is 0%, which both are very low percentage

to have slaves in this particular country, and Africans only is about 10%, and that make it one of

the four to have the most slave in the country.

Descriptive

This graph shows the multiple origins that slaves were help or were captured. Thepopulation of the slaves was put in frequencies in this to determine the outcome of which origin

has the most and the least slaves. Frequencies consist of 0 through 120,000 and Origin consists

of Creoles, Africans, Caribbean, Anglo, Indians, Other, and Unidentified slaves. This graph

shows the frequencies from left to right and from the lowest to highest.

Interpretive

This graph shows the frequencies of slave in each origin. Creoles were the least origin to

have slaves, which was 10,000. Africans held about 35,000 slaves in the graph and was one of

the five to have the most slaves. The Caribbean, the graph shows that they had about 37,000

slaves registered. The graph clearly shows that Anglo, Indians, and other where at the same level

of frequencies and held about 38 or 39,000 slaves. , which was the most held.


4/7

Descriptive

This graph shows the frequencies of Agecatn, which means age categories. It also shows

the frequencies of missing through old categories. This graph shows the frequencies from least to

the highest. The frequencies are depending on the amount of slaves and their ages to determine

the frequencies.

Interpretive

This graph shows the frequencies of agecatn that goes from 0 to 120,000 thousand. By

looking at this graph it will show the lowest frequency to the highest frequency. The highest

frequency in the graph will be old and adult because they are the highest and have more slave

count, by reading the graph with 100,000 slave count. Then you got young and child, which will

be in the second most frequency count of slaves in the graph with about 90,000 slaves. Then you

got infant, nursing, unborn, and 0 with about the same or the same frequency at about 85,000

slaves. Then missing is at the bottom of the categories because it is the least with 8,000 slavefrequency.


5/7

Descriptive

This graph will show the cumulative percent of AFETH. This graph consist of Missing,

Senegambia, Sierra Leone, Gold Coast, Bight Benin, Bight of Biafra, West central Africa,

Mozambique, Coastal Origins only, and African only. These places are found in Africa where

there was slaves being worked or held against their will. It also shows the percentage from 0 to

120.

Interpretive

This graph is showing the percentage of countries in Africa. These places are being

summed up to see which place has more slaves and which place has the least slaves. Missing is

the lowest with a percentage of about 78 percent. Then you have Senegambia, Sierra Leone, and

Gold Coast, which has the same percent at about 79 percent. Bight Benin and Bight of Biafra are

almost weighing in at the same percent but Bight Benin is about 80 percent and Bight of Biafra is

about 81 percent. So, now when move on to West Central Africa, Mozambique, and Unidentifiednations are the same percent, which is about 83 percent? Coastal origins only have a percent of

95 percent, which is second to last with the highest percentage. Therefore, with African only

coming in last, that makes it the highest percentage on the graph with a percent of 100. All these

fields were percentages of slaves in the certain areas.

Summary

This document was about slaves and the way they were used in other and different

countries. The document showed the percentages, frequencies of the different types of areas

slaves were from or being held. The population of slaves was very big. After finding all those

slaves and their place of slavery, the population was over whelming. Slaves were used for work

that those people who had them working could have been the ones working, instead they had our

people out in the sun working for a little of nothing.

Conclusion

The whole document and graph were about slaves. The areas, the places, the origin,

region, and categories that these slaves were put in and labeled as was all wrong and should have

been done at all or thought of in any area in the world. They work these slaves to death. They

had a lot of slaves in each area to the point where there was always thousands and thousands of

slaves working so they would complete the jobs that they had at hand. I think no human being

should go through no type of suffering that these slaves went through just to eat.
