  "African Resistance to Enslavement" - pg. 37. This article suggests that the Africans did not voluntarily go into slavery. In fact, this article gives multiple examples as how the Africans rebelled and revolted against their "masters." This article gives descriptions as how the Africans tried to flee and escape not only from their "owners," but while they were in transit to a new place to work. This article will contrast nicely with the "Africa and the Atlantic" article we read by Philip D. Morgan because that article seemed to suggest that the Africans voluntarily enslaved themselves, unlike this one.
