what country of africa did haitians come from as slaves?

Answer 1

Although slaves from many parts of West Africa were shipped to Haiti, the majority of Haitian slaves originated along the notorious "slave coast."

The slave coast was so called because of the abundant number of dealers that found slaves within this region. The region was compromised of the countries now known as Togo, Benin, and western parts of Nigeria.

Additionally, between the years 1783-179, a third of the entire Atlantic slave trade was being supported by Haitian sugar plantations. Between 1764 and 1771, the average importation of slaves varied between 10,000-15,000, by 1786 about 28,000 and, from 1787 onward, the colony received more than 40,000 slaves a year. However, the inability to maintain slave numbers without constant resupply from Africa meant the slave population, by 1789, totaled 500,000, ruled over by a white population that, by 1789, numbered only 32,000.

Hope this info helps!
