Explanation:
1. Africans were easier to spot, color denoted their bondage status, there was nowhere to run once they were taken.
2. Africans were exposed to those who had them in bondage for quite some time, meaning they had developed immunities to many of the trifling diseases their captors carried. So they were viewed as healthier.
3. Some Africans willingly sold their enemies (who were already in slavery/ prisoners of war) in exchange for products like guns, grain, and fabrics.
<span>On January 8, 1815, the British marched against New Orleans, hoping that by capturing the city they could separate Louisiana from the rest of the United States. Pirate Jean Lafitte, however, had warned the Americans of the attack, and the arriving British found militiamen under General Andrew Jackson strongly entrenched at the Rodriquez Canal. In two separate assaults, the 7,500 British soldiers under Sir Edward Pakenham were unable to penetrate the U.S. defenses, and Jackson’s 4,500 troops, many of them expert marksmen from Kentucky and Tennessee, decimated the British lines. In half an hour, the British had retreated, General Pakenham was dead, and nearly 2,000 of his men were killed, wounded, or missing. U.S. forces suffered only EIGHT KILLED and 13 wounded.</span>
Because this was a period in which there was a great export of slaves, in addition to the fact that there were great discussions of white men and blacks still fighting for their total freedom.
In general, starting from the history of a large part of these peoples, we can say that there was domestic slavery in Africa, and not a commercial slavery, that is, among several African peoples, the slave was not a commodity, but an arm to more in harvesting, livestock, mining and hunting; an extra warrior in military campaigns.
These African peoples preferred women as slaves, since they were responsible for agriculture and could generate new members for the community. And many of the children born to slave mothers were considered free by the community. The vast majority of African peoples were matrilineal, that is, they organized themselves based on maternal ancestry, starting with the transmission of names and privileges from the mother. In this way, a slave mother could become a political leader in her society, having generated the heir to the local leadership.
In addition, a slave who was faithful to his master could occupy a position of local prestige, including owning his slaves. Thus, not always being a slave was a condition of humiliation and disrespect. Even representing a submission, it was a situation that was often the same as that of other free people.
