In the 1500s, the concept of slavery evolved significantly with the rise of the transatlantic slave trade. Initially, slavery in Africa was often linked to debt or warfare, with enslaved individuals sometimes able to integrate into their captor's society. However, European demand for labor in the Americas led to a more brutal, racially based system of chattel slavery, where individuals were viewed as property. This shift entrenched racial hierarchies and dehumanized enslaved Africans, fundamentally altering the nature of slavery and its implications for both continents.
