The slave trade was significant because it played a major part in the settlement of the New World. For the traders, it was their form of income. For the blacks in their homelands, it gave them an opportunity to learn modern methods of completing sometimes strenuos tasks. For the slaves themselves, it was significant because it illustrated the suffering caused by white people.
