Slavery has existed for thousands of years, but the transatlantic slave trade involving the forced migration of Africans to the Americas began in the early 16th century and intensified in the 17th century.
Most West Africans in the early sixteenth century made a living through agriculture, fishing, trading, and craftsmanship. Many communities were involved in producing goods for trade, such as textiles, metalwork, and pottery, while others pursued livelihoods based on hunting and gathering. Trade routes across the region also provided opportunities for people to engage in commerce and exchange goods with neighboring communities.
Slavery has been practiced for thousands of years, with records of slavery dating back to ancient civilizations such as Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, and Rome.

Today, slavery persists in various forms in different parts of the world, despite being outlawed in most countries.

The European involvement in the enslavement of Africans began in the late 15th century, following the onset of the transatlantic slave trade around the 1500s. Initially, the Portuguese were the first to engage in African slave trading, capturing and transporting enslaved people to work on plantations in the Americas. By the 17th century, other European powers, including the British, French, and Dutch, expanded the trade significantly, leading to the forced displacement of millions of Africans over the next few centuries. This brutal system persisted until the 19th century, when abolition movements gained momentum.

During the 18th century, the British slave trade transported approximately 3.1 million enslaved Africans to the Americas. This was a significant portion of the transatlantic slave trade, which saw millions of Africans forcibly taken from their homeland and subjected to enslavement in the Americas. The majority of these enslaved individuals were sent to the Caribbean and Brazil, with a smaller number arriving in North America. This trade played a crucial role in the economic development of British colonies in the Americas.
