Many of the first slaves from Africa came from the Senegambia (comprised of Senegal and The Gambia present day) and Windward Coast (presently Ivory Coast). This area was widely known for providing slaves to the Arabian World. When the Portuguese used their contacts in the Kingdom of Kongo (northern Angola, and the Republic of Congo presently) to inject themselves heavily into slave trade for use in South America, the slaves began to be shipped from that area and the slave trade in Western Africa dwindled; although it never ceased.
