Scenario
four
Taken
to West African Trading posts to be sold to European Slave Traders bound for
the West Indies, America or Brazil.
These
slaves had the worst deal of all:
·from the
moment they were sold to the Europeans they stopped being fellow human beings
but considered tools of husbandry to be used on plantation farms; mainly sugar
and cotton
·they were
auctioned at European slave markets
·they were
treated cruelly
·they were in
most cases, brand marked
·they were
often put in chains for punishment
·they were
chattels and had no rights
·they could be
killed for a fine of £15
·were often
slaves for life
·their
children were born into slavery and became slaves themselves
