History

Since Slaves we're crammed into ships, they often died of disease, as diseases spread much more effectively when people are constantly in contact with each other, as they often were because so many slaves were fit onto each ship. Think about it: You're more likely to catch a cold if you get coughed on no matter what you do , because you are always close to the sick person.

What conditions made slavery and the slave trade possible?​
Svetllana [295]

In 1807, the British government passed an Act of Parliament abolishing the slave trade throughout the British Empire. Slavery itself would persist in the British colonies until its final abolition in 1838. However, abolitionists would continue campaigning against the international trade of slaves after this date.

The slave trade refers to the transatlantic trading patterns which were established as early as the mid-17th century. Trading ships would set sail from Europe with a cargo of manufactured goods to the west coast of Africa. There, these goods would be traded, over weeks and months, for captured people provided by African traders. European traders found it easier to do business with African intermediaries who raided settlements far away from the African coast and brought those young and healthy enough to the coast to be sold into slavery.

Hope this helps :)
