AMU African Slavery Discussion

I’m working on a history question and need an explanation to help me learn.

Describe the systems of slavery that has existed in  Africa since Ancient times and how is the slavery system used by Africans and Arabs different from  the New World slave systems developed under the Spanish, Dutch, French, and English ? Feel free to also discuss the painful history of the Middle Passage as that connects the two. If you go into great specifics on the Middle Passage then some of the other aspects may be shortened.

In your answer  make sure you discuss the ways in which slaves were obtained for sale, the  treatment of slaves in each form of enslavement, the roles and duties of slaves in each area and if the slaves could gain their freedom. Also in previous American History courses the books only accounts the English slavery that began in the 1600s but slavery was in the New World since Columbus in 1490s.  This class will discuss slavery from Africa in the New World since the 1490s.  Slaves were in South Carolina and Florida since the 1520s…
