Africans were first brought to the Caribbean as slaves by European colonizers starting in the early 16th century. The transatlantic slave trade continued until the 19th century, resulting in a significant African presence in the Caribbean. After the abolition of slavery, many Africans in the Caribbean worked to preserve their cultural heritage through music, dance, religion, and other traditions. Today, people of African descent make up a substantial portion of the population in many Caribbean nations.
The slaves were brought from Africa to the Caribbean on SLAVE SHIPS, which were massive sea-going vessels designed to carry large numbers of enslaved Africans in unsafe conditions. Between 10-20% of Africans transported this way did not survive the trip.
