Slaves die by their own misery
Because they were beaten to death
Slaves would just die anywhere. The overseers would do something with their bodies. On the Slave ships they would get rid of their bodies by throwing them over the side into the water. Lots of slaves died on the middle passage either by suffocating or dieing of disease.
Most of the slaves faced horrible conditions on the ships.
More than 60 million slaves were put into one boat, very squashed inside one boat and every day 1 or 2 slaves would die and they would throw them in the sea!The above is sooo wrong! Obviously, 60 million slaves weren't put into one boat! Some slaves would die in the ship. Slaves would throw themselves off the ship! The crew didn't throw them!Back to the question.... Slaves were captured by other Africans.
In tight pack or loose pack. Tight pack is where the slaves where layed on their side, and loose pack is where the slaves where layed on their back. The tight pack allowed more slaves to be on the ship but this caused more slaves to die as they were closer together and suffocated more.
