Your question is not too clear. Obviously, EVERYONE who lived during slavery and died before it was eliminated, also died during slavery. If you mean how many slaves died BECAUSE of slavery, the answer would be very few once they reached America. There are varying estimates of how many died on the slave ships, and there were probably a lot. But just think about it for a little and you will realize that the slaves on those ships represented a lot of cash for the captain and his sponsors. A slave who did not survive the voyage was a direct loss, so a certain amount of care was taken to assure their safe transit. Once they were sold, the plantation owner depended on them as his labor force and would try to keep them alive and healthy. There were even laws that required a slave owner to provide for their "retirement years" and he could not just discard them when they could no longer work. I am not defending slavery, but too many people still believe only the most extreme examples presented by the abolitionists in the 1860s and use those examples to promote a current political agenda.

How many people died in American slavery?

Estimates of the number of people who died due to American slavery vary widely, but a common figure suggests that around 1 to 2 million enslaved individuals may have died as a result of harsh conditions, violence, and disease during the transatlantic slave trade and throughout the slavery era in the United States. This figure includes those who died during the Middle Passage, as well as those who perished due to the brutal conditions of slavery itself. However, precise numbers are difficult to ascertain due to the lack of comprehensive records.
