1. A majority of the ways in which the slaves had been captured was using the Africans tribal systems. The tribal leaders were given guns in exchange for slaves. Thus, many of the tribes took the slaves that they captured after victory in a war to the ships. They would be forced to walk, thousands of miles to the nearest coast, while being shackled. Then they would be led onto ships that passed through various first-world countries. The trip would be harrowing, since there were many slaves jammed into the ships as possible (Thomas). Most of the female slaves would be raped or beaten, and many of the slaves would have not been given proper food or water. Many of them would be taken into the slave quarters to be used as servants, with the promise of a new world, with more money and status. 
The ships took off from various ports, and they would often disembark at ports such as the Charleston. The way that they were treated on the ships was considered to be abominable. They were to be treated as cargo, and any slave that rebelled would be punished. In order to strip of their identity, many of the crew forced the slaves to exercise regularly, which would include humiliation and punishment in the form of dances. If there was a lack of food or water, the slaves would be drowned or let off the ship. Most of the slaves were malnourished, and any woman who gave birth while on the ship would risk having her child killed, since children were considered to be a nuisance. When they were brought to Charleston, they were kept in structures called the Pest Houses, or lazaretto, which is a structure that is 16 feet by 30 feet, and is kept off the coast of Charleston called Sullivan’s Island (Eltis, and Engerman). After being quarantined for 10 days, the slaves would be lined up to be sold to the highest bidder. This was done after they had been branded, in order to ensure that they would not run away. There is an Old Slave Mart in Charleston, where the slave trade was booming, and slaves were sold off in thousands. According to reports, 40% of the slaves that were brought to the United States of America had been brought through the port of Charleston, and around 80% of African-Americans can trace their history to the city. 
When being brought to the city, the slaves were segregated based on the area and tribe from which they came from. After the branding and the quarantine, many South Carolina’s slave buyers would line up and inspect the cargo. Many of the slave owners preferred slaves from Ghana, since they felt that they would last longer in the rice fields. The slaves were brought for 100 to 200 sterling,
