millions of the African slaves died and it effected the African population and weakened many societies
Well first of all the answer to your question is no. The Europeans treated African slaves horribly. They made them work all day. Slave trading between Africa and Europe began with the Portuguese, who were the first European nation to make continuous contact with Africa. African slaves were mainly taken to Europe to be used on a land that needed slaves. If a slave got tired, and slowed down or stopped, they would get a punishment. Sometimes slave owners would rape their slaves, raping is one of the many cruel and mean things done to slaves. Raping a slave wasn't even against the law! Sometimes slaves were beaten so harshly that they nearly bled to death. Slaves couldn't have an education, and it very hard to escape slavery.
Slaves were transported from Africa to Europe primarily during the transatlantic slave trade, which operated from the 16th to the 19th centuries. They were forcibly captured or purchased by European traders, often through violent raids or negotiations with African leaders. The journey, known as the Middle Passage, involved overcrowded and inhumane conditions on ships, where many slaves suffered from disease, malnutrition, and abuse. Upon arrival in Europe, they were typically sold into forced labor, often in agriculture, domestic service, or other industries.
As early as 1550 the Spanish brought slaves to Mexico . It is estimated that 12 million people were enslaved and were part of the early economics of the New Worlds. They were needed to do the labor.
Many Europeans moved to the colonies to get rich by producing sugar
I don't think they "desired" African slaves. At first many explorers brought back people from places they had visited on their voyages, but most of them died before the explorers could get the new slaves back to europe. So i don't think the African slaves were really targeted, it was just from where the explorers sailed to.
The same number as were trained by Africa to Europe.
Not all African Americans were slaves. Many were free African Americans while others were so light in their skin color so they could pass as a white. Some free African Americans owned slaves themselves.
in the region of 12 million
The culture of the colonies aged many slaves to become Christians---> Apex

A Lot of them. Now slavery is illegal and now there are no more slaves in north America
African slaves helped farm crops such as tobacco, rice, and indigo in the southern colonies of North America. These crops were labor-intensive and required knowledge and skills that many African slaves possessed.
More west African slaves were taken to Latin America than the amount that was taken to the U.S. only approximately 8% of the slaves came to the U.S. That is why many latinos are black or have African ancestry

Many African countries traded : gold, ivory and slaves (to America & West Indies until 1807)
False. The African slave trade affected many parts of Africa, not just the northern coastline. Slaves were captured and traded from various regions across the continent to be transported to destinations in Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East.
