I learned that they could fit around 200 people on each ship

Something I didn't know was that some slaves had more freedom then others and could become free. And that it was so unsanitary and cramped in the ships that some slaves would die.

i didn't know that when the Europeans arrived in Africa they opened a new market for enslaved Africans

I leaned that the slaves came from Africa and not the usa

I didn't know that by taking a lot of people to be slaves that it had such a big impact on Africa

They were traded for weapons and rum and and most of the people that Africa gave were prisoners of war not actual slaves

Something I didn't know about the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade was that some slaves had much more freedom than others. For example, as said in the video, some slaves could buy their own freedom, own land, and even rise to a higher position. Meanwhile, others were treated brutally. Some had to shave their head, get branded, and put on a ship with way too many people cramped below deck, which even caused death to many.

I was surprised when it said that some  of them never saw land again.
does it mean that some of them died on the boat or in the boat for a very very long time

I didn't know how big of an impact the slave trade had on the kingdoms of Africa, it made them weaker because all of the workers were traded off as slaves which meant they had nobody working, and that eventually led to them being conquered.

before they could get on the ship they had to shave there heads to prevent lice and that when one was sick they were thrown over bored, they also did not get money for the trade they got goods so there was really no point in it in my opinion

What I didn't know was that you could buy your freedom at some point for a certain class of slaves. Also, that they were shaved to prevent lice and branded. Another thing is that they were thrown off the ship as punishment, you'd think they'd try to keep them all on to trade more slaves and get more goods.
