Taken+from+their+homes

The Slaves are Taken from Their Homes  In Africa, there were, and still are, many villages. Back in the late 1800's, the demand for slaves was very high. So when the demand was high, the sailors and captors would have to go to Africa, and invade the villages. The people in the villages were blissfully unaware of the strange goat-milk colored people who were descending on their village. Their custom was to have a big welcoming celebration for whoever was to come to their village. So, of course, they would prepare one. Little did they know what would be coming for them. The captors would arrive, the celebration would ensue, then the horrors would begin. During, or after the celebration, the captors would brutally murder anyone who was not fit to be a healthy, good working slave. That would be anyone who was not a teenager, anyone in their middle-ages, or anyone elderly. Everyone else would loose their families, be chained up, and brought on a many month long perilous walking journey to the slave ship. On the walk, they would be given very little food, very little water, and no shelter.
