the Middle Passage.
The first African slaves used by Europeans were used by the Portuguese, on the island of Sao Tome, to grow sugarcane. The Spanish were the first to use African slaves in the Americas (in the Caribbean), and the first English colony to use African slaves was Jamestown, Virginia (which was the first English colony in the New World). However, long before Europeans used African slaves, the Africans had slaves who were African!
African slaves came from the West coast of Africa - at that time there were no countries as we now know them in that area.
They originated from Africa.

Sabotaging equipment or tools, pretending to be sick or injured, or deliberately working slowly are examples of passive resistance that slaves used to disrupt the system of slavery without directly confronting their oppressors.

to replace Indian slaves with African slaves
African slaves were preferred over the Native Americans because they showed fierce resistance
they were in horrible condition. they lived in shacks, were beaten, wipped, and were treated worst than the dogs. They were not allowed to learn how to read or write.
They did show resistance and the slaves showed the resistance in many ways. They would fight against their masters and slave owners. But some slave did not want to fight in fear that they might be punished, so instead they showed resistance and did things like:break toolssabotage production of productswork slowlyfake illnessgo on strikeand many more.
She used the Underground Railroad to guide hundreds of slaves to freedom.
