Where did traders unload slaves?

Answer 1

There were slave ports in several areas. Charleston South Carolina was a major slave market, but the slave trade was dominated by northern maritime industry. Rhode Island was responsible for half the slave trade. James DeWolf of Bristol Rhode Island was a Senator and wealthy merchant was the leading slave trader in the history of the United States. From 1769 to 1820 he brought approximately 12,000 slaves across the Middle Passage. Other ports were Havana Cuba as well as other ports in the West Indies.
