The abolition of the slave trade in West Africa took a long time due to a combination of economic interests, political complexities, and social structures. European powers were heavily invested in the profits generated from the transatlantic slave trade, which created resistance to its abolition. Additionally, local chiefs and traders in West Africa benefited from the trade, complicating efforts for reform. Efforts for abolition faced significant opposition, and it wasn't until moral, humanitarian, and political pressures converged that meaningful change occurred.
Slaves went mainly FROM West Africa to the Americas. The Dutch West Indies Trade Company has kept track of all travel durations on that route between 1595 and 1860. The average west Africa - America trip on their ships took between 60 and 80 days.
European slave traders mainly went to the coastal West African modern day nations such as Liberia, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone.
During the eighteenth century it took 42 days to travel across the Atlantic ocean on a boat.

The duration of a transatlantic voyage from Africa to America varied depending on the ship, weather conditions, and the specific route taken. On average, it could take anywhere from six weeks to three months during the 18th and 19th centuries.
