Around 12 million were shipped from Africa to the Americas, of whom 1.8 million died on the voyage. Millions more died within Africa in slave raiding, in forced movement to the coast or awaiting shipment. In total, the Atlantic trade may have caused the enslavement or death of 20 million, and the Arab and internal Afican trades perhaps a similar number.
