The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade started in Ghana, West Africa. European colonizers either traded or kidnapped West Africans from their villages, forcing them to walk hundreds of miles to Elmina or Cape Coast Castle. Many died on their forced walk and even more died in the dungeons of these castles. Those who survived, experienced life in the dungeon for up to three months before being sent across the Atlantic Ocean on ships.
