The slave trade is a word used to describe trafficking in slaves no matter where it occurs in the world.
A famous example of a slave trade occurred while America was being colonised by the European nations.
Ships from Europe (mainly England) would load with European goods sail to the west coast of Africa where they would the goods to purchase and load slaves (captured and sold by the Coastal African nations) onto ships (under terrible conditions) and sail them to America to be sold to slave plantations. In return they would purchase sugar, spices, cotton etc and sail these back to Europe to be sold at a profit. The ships went round and round and this was called the slave triangle - it was immensely profitable at all 3 corners of the triangle (and to the sip owners).
The trade was brought to an end when the English parliamentarian 'William Wilberforce' got the British parliament to abolish it in 1807. The slaves taken to the United States were not emancipated until 1865.
