Warfare and slaving had been an integral part of African life for centuries, in part because of conflicts among numerous
states and ethnic groups.

As the demand for sugar increased the demand for slaves (and the price Europeans
would pay for them), skyrocketed.

Supplying the Atlantic trade became a way of life in Dahomey, where the royal house made the sale of slaves a state monopoly and used European guns to establish a military domination.

“Whenever the Chief of Barsally wants Goods or Brandy,” an observer noted, “the
King goes and ransacks some of his enemies’ towns, seizing the people and
selling them.”

Dahomey’s army, systematically raided the interior for captives, between 1680 and
1730, these raids accounted for many of the 20,000 slaves exported annually from
Allada and Whydah.

The trade in humans produced untold misery. Hundreds of thousands of young
Africans died, and millions more were condemned to the brutal life of slaves in
the Americas.

Men constituted two-thirds of the slaves sent across the Atlantic because European planters paid more for “men and stout men
boys.”

African slave traders sold women captives in local or Saharan slave markets as
agricultural workers, house servants, and concubines.

The expansion of the Atlantic trade went hand in hand with the increased business
in slaves in Africa.

In Africa, as in the Americas, slavery was eroding the dignity of human life.

Africans sold into the slave trade experienced a horrible fate. Torn from their
villages, they were marched in chains to Elmina and other coastal ports.

From there they made the perilous Middle Passage to the New World in overcrowded ships. The captives have little to eat and
drink, and some would die from dehydration.

The feces, urine, and vomit prompted dangerous outbreaks of disease, which
took more lives.

“I was so overcome by the heat, stench, and foul air that I nearly fainted,” reported a European doctor who ventured below deck.

Some slaves jumped overboard, choosing to drown rather than endure more
suffering.

Believing that “they would be made into oil and eaten,” many Africans staged violent
revolts. Slaves attacked their captors on no fewer than two thousand voyages, roughly
one of every ten Atlantic passages.

Nearly 100,000 slaves died in these uprisings, and more than a million others,
about 15 percent of those transported, died of sickness on the month-long journey.

Most died of dysentery or scurvy, others died of measles, yellow fever, and
smallpox, which survivors often carried to American port cities and plantations.

For those who lived through the Middle Passage, things only got worse. Life on the
sugar plantations of Brazil and the West Indies was a lesson in systematic violence
and exploitation.

The slaves worked ten hours a day under the hot semitropical sun, slept in flimsy huts, and lived on a starchy diet of corn,
yams, and dried fish.

And they were subject to brutal discipline. “The fear of punishment is the principle [we use]…to keep them in awe and order,” one
planter declared.

With sugar prices high and the cost of slaves low, many planters simply worked
their slaves to death and then bought more.

Between 1708 and 1735, British planters imported about 85,000 Africans into
Barbados, but the island’s black population increased by only 4,000 (from 42,000 to
46,000) during that period, due to the high death rate.
