Once captured, African slaves were typically taken to coastal forts and trading posts along West Africa, where they were held until they could be sold to European traders. From there, they were transported across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas through the Middle Passage, a brutal journey that often resulted in high mortality rates. Upon arrival, they were sold at auction to plantation owners and other buyers, primarily in the Caribbean, Brazil, and the southern United States. This forced migration was part of the larger transatlantic slave trade that lasted for centuries.
