Black slaves that were taken to America were mainly from the West African countries that have a coastline on the Atlantic ocean. In some cases slaves were captured from other countries that are further inland then sent away on boats from the coastal towns. Three countries where most slaves are known to have come from are Sierra Leone, Liberia and Ghana. Other slaves from East African countries like Mozambique, Tanzania and Congo were sent to Europe and Asia.
By 1680, there were some 7,000 African slaves in the American colonies, a number that ballooned to 700,000 by 1790, according to some estimates. Congress outlawed the importation of slaves to the United States as of 1808, but the practice continued. The U.S. Civil War (1861-1865) resulted in the emancipation of approximately 4 million slaves.
