I highly recommend visiting The Atlantic Slave Trade and Slave Life in the Americas: A Visual Record.

Yeah, the error is on the other site. That’s why I put the link to the Slave site. I don’t know why the post was deleted from the other site …. strange, ’cause I would have like to have read all of it. Click and go to the link though, they have soooo much on the subject!
