Slavery hit some tribes of Africa the hardest.
12 million. That is the number of Africans estimated to have been shipped as slaves through the Atlantic Ocean between the 16th and 19th centuries to the Americas. This number scares the soul out of you but it is not as overwhelming in essence as the over 1.5 million of them believed, over time, to have lost their lives under very harsh conditions while on board.
It is no doubt that the proportions of Africans that were involved in the slave trade were widespread but have you ever wondered where, with respect to tribes, Africa was most hit?
