Slaves likely faced poor hygiene due to limited access to bathing facilities and clean clothing, leading to body odor. In addition, crowded living conditions and lack of sanitation could have contributed to foul smells in living quarters. Additionally, the harsh conditions of forced labor may have caused sweat and dirt to accumulate, further exacerbating any unpleasant smells.

Bloodhounds were primarily used for their strong sense of smell. Since these slaves escaped from their plantations an downers to track the slaves and bring them back to a plantation the overseer or boss of the slaves would usually use their bloodhound dogs to track the escaped slaves. They did this because the process of capturing slaves would be gradually easier with the dogs because their key sense of the smelling of everything in their surroundings to everything in far distances, of course it would get weak and very poor when the bloodhound got near water. But, overall they were used in the process of tracking escaped slaves because their strong sense of smell.

Where all slaves from Africa?

In early America, mostly. In the world, absolutely not. Our word "slave" comes from the world "slav," a European (white) people who were apparently taken as slaves a lot back in the day. Slaves could also be captured enemy soldiers of any nation, especially in the ancient world, when slavery was extremely common. Later on, kidnapping African tribesmen became the most profitable form of slavery.
