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.
Well over 90 percent of African slaves were imported into the Caribbean and South America. Only about 6 percent of imports went directly to British North America. Yet by 1825, the U.S. had a quarter of blacks in the New World. The majority of African slaves were brought to British North America between 1720 and 1780.he median size of slaveholdings ranged from approximately 25 slaves in the tobacco regions of Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina, to 30-50 slaves in upland cotton regions. Plantations in the Sea Islands of South Carolina and Georgia and the sugar parishes of Louisiana averaged 60-80 slaves.
