The transatlantic slave trade involved the forced transportation of millions of Africans to the Americas by European traders, primarily from the 16th to the 19th centuries. Most enslaved individuals were taken from West Africa and shipped to the New World, where they were forced to work on plantations and in mines. This brutal trade was driven by the demand for labor to cultivate crops like sugar, tobacco, and cotton, significantly impacting both African societies and the economies of the Americas. The trade resulted in profound social and cultural disruptions in Africa, while contributing to the wealth and development of European colonial powers.

Slaves would come from small villages that they lived in. African slaves came from various countries in Africa and were sold by other Africans to Europeans to be shipped to the Americas.
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.
