Being enslaved should be enough for anyone to see that they were horribly treated, but, there's more. The treatment of slaves in the United States often included sexual abuse and ****, the denial of education, and punishments like whippings. Families were often split up by the sale of one or more members, usually never to see or hear of each other again. Enslaved people "desperately sought freedom".
While 180,000 African-American soldiers fought in the United States Army during the Civil War, no slave, not one, fought as a soldier for the Confederacy.
Slaves were punished by whipping, shackling, hanging, beating, burning, mutilation, branding, ****, and imprisonment. Punishment was often meted out in response to disobedience or perceived infractions, but sometimes abuse was performed to re-assert the dominance of the master (or overseer) over the slave. Slave overseers were authorized to whip and punish slaves. One overseer told a visitor, "Some Negroes are determined never to let a white man whip them and will resist you, when you attempt it; of course you must kill them in that case."A former slave describes witnessing females being whipped: "They usually screamed and prayed, though a few never made a sound." The branding of slaves for identification was common during the colonial era; however, by the nineteenth century it was used primarily as punishment. Mutilation of slaves, such as castration of males, removing a front tooth or teeth, and amputation of ears was a relatively common punishment during the colonial era, still used in 1830: it facilitated their identification if they ran away.
Any punishment was permitted for runaway slaves, and many bore wounds from shotgun blasts or dog bites inflicted by their captors. "The punishment of deviant slaves was decentralized, based on plantations, and crafted so as not to impede their value as laborers. Whites punished slaves publicly to set an example. A man named Harding describes an incident in which a woman assisted several men in a minor rebellion: "The women he hoisted up by the thumbs, whipp'd and slashed her [sic] with knives before the other slaves till she died.
Medical care was poor. A majority of plantation owners and doctors balanced a plantation need to coerce as much labor as possible from a slave without causing death, infertility, or a reduction in productivity; the effort by planters and doctors to provide sufficient living resources that enabled their slaves to remain productive and bear many children; the impact of diseases and injury on the social stability of slave communities.
Slaveholders had no legal obligation to respect the sanctity of the slave's marriage bed, and slave women— married or single – had no formal protection against their owners' sexual advances. ...Without legal protection and subject to the master's whim, the slave family was always at risk. Owners of enslaved people could legally use them as sexual objects. Therefore, slavery in the United States encompassed wide-ranging **** and sexual abuse, including many forced pregnancies, in order to produce children for sale.

Africans played a direct role in the slave trade, kidnapping adults and stealing children for the purpose of selling them, through intermediaries, to Europeans or their agents.Those sold into slavery were usually from a different ethnic group than those who captured them, whether enemies or just neighbors.[citation needed] These captive slaves were considered "other", not part of the people of the ethnic group or "tribe"; African kings were only interested in protecting their own ethnic group, but sometimes criminals would be sold to get rid of them. Most other slaves were obtained from kidnappings, or through raids that occurred at gunpoint through joint ventures with the Europeans.
Africans lived in villages in Africa. They did not have to fear wild animals unless venturing into the woods, much like us now.

"Lexus,gold teeth,good health,fine homes,fine clothes,and they still whine. Africa is ready when they are if they don't appreciate their ancestors sacrifices." This statement alone shows how little you know about the African/American community. If you are not a racist, you sure are close to it. At the very least, you parade an ignorance about what slavery is. You also fail to grasp that today's African/Americans don't own anything to the white man. They got what they have by the sweat of their brow and the blood spilled fighting for their civil rights.

People could write back then. They have records about how slaves were transported from Africa and how many of them died. They were tied up for months in the hold of a ship. There are records on how long the slaves lived, after they were sold. Some slave owners kept very precise records and some didn't, but there's other data to determine the death-rate for those, like census data and the numbers of slaves that were sold, which were archived meticulously (it was a business). There are many mass graves of slaves archeologically examined.
It's possible to determine the age of bodies found and in some cases their cause of death.

There is massive amount of scientific research on the history of slavery.
But you don't know and don't care. If science paints a picture that you don't like, you just deny science. You prefer the uninformed opinion of some politician or paid political activist. And you are averse to knowledge in general.

Africa is still being completely exploited by the west. We take all their natural resources for almost nothing and make them pay for ever for the debt that the west imposed on them. Their corrupt leaders are maintained by our leaders. When there is a war in Africa, we only help the side that most bows to our wishes. And of course white people in South Africa maintained 'apartheid' until recently. Africa is still mostly a slave continent. We are not there to enslave them in person anymore, we just enslave their countries.

I'm pretty sure most of these guys don't have a statue in a public place or a street named after them, but, they represent the BEST OF THE BEST and their work involves every aspect of humanity.

"Hidden away in a library,to never be seen"
I know you don't read, but libraries are where you provide books to the public.
They are in DIGITIZED archives, so everyone can read them.
Just one example: only registered users can see external links
Where do you want them? Hanging from a flag pole?

A statue is not an archive, it's a method of glorification.
People who fought to keep slavery don't deserve glorification.
Road names only have one reason; to show respect for the name-holder.
You don't want to remember them, you want to worship them.
