By 1768, the English slave trade had a figure of 53,000 slaves a year being shipped to the North American continent. Other slave traders included the French at 23,000, the Dutch at 11,000, and the Portuguese at 8,700 slaves being transported yearly from Africa. Estimates of up to 10 million slaves took the Middle Passage Voyage to reach the Americas.

The European contact with Africans affected the Africans mainly by the slave trade. The economy was greatly affected.
The Europeans benefited from the slave trade more so than the Africans. Europeans traded mainly weapons to Africans, in which they sold their own people as slaves.
The passage where slaves were traded was called the "Transatlantic slave trade" or simply the "slave trade." It was a horrific practice where millions of Africans were captured, transported, and sold as slaves to the Americas from the 16th to the 19th centuries.
Africans traded gold, ivory, and other resources for goods such as firearms, textiles, and rum in the triangle trade. The main commodity that Africans were traded for in this trade route was slaves.
People were captured by Africans and enslaved. They were then taken by their African captors and sold at the coast for Manillas (copper and bronze armlets) that had been manufactured in Europe. The African kingdoms that ran the slave trade became very rich on the proceeds of selling Africans that they captured.

Im not sure about that particular year, but the slave trade mainly benifited the merchants on the ships, who captured the defenceless africans, sailed over to the americas, traded them for goods, and went back to England to sell those products.
From Africa, Americans went and took them hostage, and traded them in Cuba for sugar. (Americans would capture them and trade with other Americans for cotton or sugar.)
The Atlantic slave trade did not benefit Africans. It led to the forced removal of millions of Africans from their homes, families, and communities, resulting in immense suffering, loss of life, and disruption of societies. The slave trade primarily benefited European and American slave traders, plantation owners, and industries that were built on the exploitation of enslaved Africans.

Fellow Africans were involved in the slave trade for various reasons, including profit, political power, and as a result of intertribal conflicts. European involvement also incentivized some African leaders to participate in the trade.
