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.
How many Africans were taken from Africa through enslavement? There are no complete records and estimates vary from a few millions to 100,000,000 people. Most historians today think that, according to the shipping records available, between 9 and 11 million people were taken out of Africa by European slave traders and landed alive on the other side of the Atlantic. One researcher gives the higher, very detailed figure of 11,863,000.
