This was the way the ship lead with the slaves. They would start of in Africa and capture some innocent people. Then take them to America to get sold. Then the one who were left were taken to Great Britian and then start again in Africa.

The slave trade actually didn't start in America. Many, many years ago it started in Egypt. Ancient Egyptians used slaves to build palaces and monuments. The Romans turned prisoners they captured in war into slaves. Aztecs, Incas, and the Maya used slaves to farm and to fight wars. Then many years later, the American's started to take over and to cause a new cruel Slave Trade. All through out the atlantic ocean. African's were captured and put into filthy wooden cabins with out showering for 3 weeks or 4. They travelled for a long time on boat and then turned into slaves. The slaves went through a hard time and some died because they couldn't stand the treatment they were put into.

The mouth opener cut the insides of the slaves mouths and they couldn't touch it because their hands and thumbs were in hand cuffs and thumb cuffs. These were painful wepons because you couldn't touch anything and hardly eat.
