These West Africans.

They are forced into labour by Europeans.

Due to the rise in the demand for sugar by the Europeans.
Their numbers increased as well as their sufferings.
They were treated cruelly and inhumanely,
And forced to work long, hard, strenuous hours,
Until 1834 when they were finally free.
