Descriptive

This graph shows the percent of the African Region in Africa. This graph has multiple countries that Africa has to show the percentage of how many slaves were found or the population of slave in these countries. It looks like between Africans only, Missing, and Africans only seem to have had the most slaves out of all these other countries. Gold Coast was the country that had the least slaves. Interpretive This graph shows that Missing is about 78%, which was the most out of all the rest of the countries. Senegambia is about 12%, which was the second to have more slaves as well. Sierra Leone is about 3%,is not the least but is close to being the least. Gold Coast is 0%, which is the least to have slaves in the African Region. Bight of Benin is about 6%, because there werent that many slaves in this particular country. Bight of Biafra is about 1%, which is next to last to being the least to have slaves. Central Africa is about 8%, which is one of the four that had the most slaves. Mozambique is 0%, Nation Unidentified is 0%, which both are very low percentage to have slaves in this particular country, and Africans only is about 10%, and that make it one of the four to have the most slave in the country.

Descriptive This graph shows the multiple origins that slaves were help or were captured. The population of the slaves was put in frequencies in this to determine the outcome of which origin has the most and the least slaves. Frequencies consist of 0 through 120,000 and Origin consists of Creoles, Africans, Caribbean, Anglo, Indians, Other, and Unidentified slaves. This graph shows the frequencies from left to right and from the lowest to highest. Interpretive This graph shows the frequencies of slave in each origin. Creoles were the least origin to have slaves, which was 10,000. Africans held about 35,000 slaves in the graph and was one of the five to have the most slaves. The Caribbean, the graph shows that they had about 37,000 slaves registered. The graph clearly shows that Anglo, Indians, and other where at the same level of frequencies and held about 38 or 39,000 slaves. , which was the most held.

Descriptive This graph shows the frequencies of Agecatn, which means age categories. It also shows the frequencies of missing through old categories. This graph shows the frequencies from least to the highest. The frequencies are depending on the amount of slaves and their ages to determine the frequencies. Interpretive This graph shows the frequencies of agecatn that goes from 0 to 120,000 thousand. By looking at this graph it will show the lowest frequency to the highest frequency. The highest frequency in the graph will be old and adult because they are the highest and have more slave count, by reading the graph with 100,000 slave count. Then you got young and child, which will be in the second most frequency count of slaves in the graph with about 90,000 slaves. Then you got infant, nursing, unborn, and 0 with about the same or the same frequency at about 85,000 slaves. Then missing is at the bottom of the categories because it is the least with 8,000 slave frequency.

Descriptive This graph will show the cumulative percent of AFETH. This graph consist of Missing, Senegambia, Sierra Leone, Gold Coast, Bight Benin, Bight of Biafra, West central Africa, Mozambique, Coastal Origins only, and African only. These places are found in Africa where there was slaves being worked or held against their will. It also shows the percentage from 0 to 120. Interpretive This graph is showing the percentage of countries in Africa. These places are being summed up to see which place has more slaves and which place has the least slaves. Missing is the lowest with a percentage of about 78 percent. Then you have Senegambia, Sierra Leone, and Gold Coast, which has the same percent at about 79 percent. Bight Benin and Bight of Biafra are almost weighing in at the same percent but Bight Benin is about 80 percent and Bight of Biafra is about 81 percent. So, now when move on to West Central Africa, Mozambique, and Unidentified nations are the same percent, which is about 83 percent? Coastal origins only have a percent of 95 percent, which is second to last with the highest percentage. Therefore, with African only coming in last, that makes it the highest percentage on the graph with a percent of 100. All these fields were percentages of slaves in the certain areas.

Summary This document was about slaves and the way they were used in other and different countries. The document showed the percentages, frequencies of the different types of areas slaves were from or being held. The population of slaves was very big. After finding all those slaves and their place of slavery, the population was over whelming. Slaves were used for work that those people who had them working could have been the ones working, instead they had our people out in the sun working for a little of nothing. Conclusion The whole document and graph were about slaves. The areas, the places, the origin, region, and categories that these slaves were put in and labeled as was all wrong and should have been done at all or thought of in any area in the world. They work these slaves to death. They had a lot of slaves in each area to the point where there was always thousands and thousands of slaves working so they would complete the jobs that they had at hand. I think no human being should go through no type of suffering that these slaves went through just to eat.
