slave trade

Question 1

6 facts about slave factories/conditions

Answer 1

Up to 1,000 male and 500 female slaves were shackled and crammed in the castle’s dank
Poorly ventilated dungeons, with no space to lie down and very little light.
Without water or sanitation, the floor of the dungeon was littered with human waste and many captives fell seriously ill.
The men were separated from the women, and the captors regularly raped the helpless women.
The castle also featured confinement cells — small
pitch-black spaces for prisoners who revolted or were seen as rebellious.
