The slaves were treated poorly and were beaten to pulps. The people who traded the slaves were cruel and had no sense of affection of humanity. They call the slaves animals? If I could go back in time I'd show those people who are the REAL animals! Slaves that died on the ships were left where they were, whether they were pushed between two others slaves are laying in a bunk. They DIED of starvation and the deadly heat.

Did slaves rebel on the slave ships?
Slaves didn't rebel on the slave ships. The slaves were chained and had to lay or sit in an odder. Slaves had to sit and lay like that for more then weeks. Some slaves didn't even make it through all of the trips. The dead slaves were more likely to be thrown of the ship to the sea. Many say that you can tell a slave ship by the sharks that follow it since everyday a dead dead slave would be thrown off the ship making the sharks have something to eat.
