Mapping out the Embarking and Working Conditions of the Slaves: Danhomey and Britain in Slave Trade

The slave trade is a trade of human beings against objects on a global scale for several decades. It involved many nations of the world and continent in general. Thus the Africans in particular the Dahomeans played some roles in it. It is in this sense that our theme entitled “Danhomey and British slave trade with special reference to embarkation and working condition” highlights the treatment of black during the transatlantic slave trade. Starting from the history of the kingdom of Dahomey, its organizations and contributions to the slave trade, it sheds light on the dark side of the captivity of the neighboring localities, their routing for sale in the port of Ouidah before being embarked on a horrible sea voyage to work in the British colonies in the United States and elsewhere on plantations. The objective of this subject is to show that the slave trade was a mistake especially for Dahomey and Africans in general, because the sale of the slaves did not enrich the kingdom of Dahomey but rather the European continent benefited more from it to rise to the top of the world in all areas and plans. But this would not be possible without the works of black people in the plantations and in various other places.
