Both native peoples and Africans in Latin America faced colonization, forced labor, and discrimination. However, native peoples were often subjected to cultural assimilation and displacement from their lands, while Africans were enslaved and brought to the region against their will to work on plantations. The impact of colonization and discrimination varied for each group, but both were marginalized by European powers.
Africans were greatly impacted by the triangular trade as they were captured, enslaved, and forcibly transported to the Americas. Indigenous peoples in the Americas also faced hardships as they were exploited for labor or displaced from their lands to make way for European settlers.
Three examples of the bad conditions faced by enslaved Africans were the loss of families, having to endure forced labor and denial of education. Discrimination did not end even for the lucky ones that were freed before the Emancipation Proclamation.
Enslaved Africans faced extremely harsh conditions during the Middle Passage, the journey across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas. They were crowded together in the holds of slave ships, often chained and subjected to unsanitary conditions, disease, and extreme cruelty by the crew.

The poem "Africa" by David Diop explores the historical experiences of Africans being colonized and enslaved by European powers, leading to the belief that Africans were inferior. This perception of being looked down upon is rooted in the long history of oppression and racism that Africans have faced.
Enslaved people coped with the miserable conditions they faced by forming strong community bonds with fellow enslaved individuals, practicing cultural traditions to maintain a sense of identity and resilience, and sometimes engaging in acts of resistance such as sabotage or escape attempts. Religion also played a significant role in providing them with hope and spiritual strength in the face of adversity.
