Actual chain used to march people out of Africa in slave trade. See how it is worn on the ends?

Up to 1000 miles forced march in chains carrying 50 pounds is what wore out the metal. Men were castrated to prevent reproduction and protect the slave business. Then they were tied to a tree and whipped with metal tipped flogs at auction to test if they were strong. If they were strong and showed no tears or weakness then they would be sold; otherwise...

The slave trade in East Africa lasted until 1911!
