Tribes sold their own members and others sold the people they won a war against in Africa. Most had a long walk to the ships that would transport them to parts of the world where they would be sold. Roughly 3 million slaves were shipped during the late 1600's; a quarter million died on the voyage. Once landed, it was mostly luck as to what kind of owner and work expected that each person got. Certainly, it took stamina and strength to endure the trip much less work the plantations in the Americas.

they were poor and rubbish
We'll never know, because there has ALWAYS been a slave trade in Africa, even today.
Cities outside the slave states that were involved in the slave trade included New York, Boston, and Newport. These northern ports played significant roles in the transatlantic slave trade by serving as shipping hubs for slave ships and merchants. They facilitated the trade, organized financing, and sometimes even participated in the slave auctions. Additionally, cities like Liverpool and Bristol in England were also major players in the slave trade, contributing to its expansion.
Commerce and slave trade compromise
The slave trade had massive influence over African Politics. West and East Africa were depopulated during the slave trade. This weakened native's states like the Oyo Empire and strengthened other empires like Ashanti.
Slave families were split up and sold as part of the domestic slave trade.
the slave trade was abolished in 1807.
British opponents of the slave trade were Americans and French because the Americans did not like slaves and they did not want there to be slaves in British territories
After the trans-Atlantic slave trade was declared illegal and later eliminated, it was replaced by legitimate trade (non-slave trade).
slaves hence the name Atlantic SLAVE trade
