The African slave trade began around 1440. European countries shipped goods to African rulers who traded for slaves to be sent to the American continent. From America, slave-produced goods such as cotton, rum and molasses were shipped to Europe, completing this slave triangle. This continued into the 1700s.

Large communities of Africans developed in the countries where slaves were sold.
Malcolm X urged all African Americans to rejecct their last names, which were that of the slave-holders, and replace them with "X" to stand for lost African American names of ancestors.
Slaves were shipped from Africa to the New World to make products which were shipped to Europe, which in turn send ships to Africa for more slaves.
