Why did people confess?
People normally confessed because they usually would no other choice to as when someone is accused people make many things up against the accused making it impossible for them to say they're innocent.

Slavery
The slave Triangle
The Slave triangle was a trade route which was used from the 16th to early 19th centuries. Where textiles, rum and manufactured goods would be sent to Africa in return for slaves. Those slaves would then be shipped to America in return for Sugar, Tobacco and cotton which would be shipped back to Europe.
The middle Passage
The conditions during the middle passage were appalling, people were packed together and chained so they had very limited movement. People couldn’t go to the toilet so they had to lie in their own filth, this spread a lot of sickness. The slaves were often unable to digest food given to them by the european crew which helped spread the sickness, and many people quickly died. Sick slaves would often be denied food and left to die.
The Plantations
Life on the plantations as slaves was hard, slaves were treated as machines and they were expected to work long hours with little time to eat or sleep. The living conditions for slaves were poor and the places that they slept were not maintained. The working conditions for slaves were tough and they were expected to work from sunrise to sunset.
Bristol and Slavery
Bristol was the leading slave port between 1730 and 1745. Because of the slave trade the population of Bristol grew throughout the 18th century from 20,000 people in 1701 to 64,000 people by the end of the century. The city of Bristol had over 20 factories refining sugar from the Caribbean. Sugar refining business was one of the city’s most profitable trades. Because of the slave trade new industries such as the Wills Company Cigarettes opened up and provided work, meals and healthcare for people who worked there.
