Indigenous African slavers from coastal regions would travel far into the interior to obtain slaves. They were generally better armed, having obtained guns from European merchants in trade for slaves.
Slaves are yoked with a forked branch and fixed in place with an iron pin across the back of their necks. The slightest tug on the branch could choke the prisoner.

There were many Africans living in Colonial New York. In these years, they made up from 14 to 21 percent of the population. In the earliest colonial, enslaved New Yorkers cleared forest, built roads, supplied lumber, and did much farming. They were laborers and house servants. During English rule (1664-1781), a considerable number of New York's slaves became skilled artisans (blacksmiths, coopers, carpenters, seament, etc.), who earned money for their masters by being hired out as contract workers. They typical slave owners was a moderately wealthy, middle class, white male who had one or two slaves living in his attic or basement.
