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.
Since the Africans seemed to survive longer than the native Indians, the Spanish began to look eastward for a new source of slave labor. In 1518, King Charles V of Spain granted the first license to sell African slaves in the Spanish colonies of America. The West African slave trade had begun.This building on the coast of Africa once was a headquarters for the British slave trade.n 1860, Nathaniel Gordon, one of the last American slave ship captains, made a voyage to West Africa and loaded his ship, the Erie, with 900 Africans, 600 of whom were children.
