This was the portion of the trans-atlantic trade were slaves were brought from africa to the americas on a brutal, grueling journey.

The estimated number of African slaves taken out of Africa is around 12 million people, but because around 1.5 million of them died during the journeys to the New World, around 10.5 million actually managed to set foot in the Americas.

The African slaves were taken from multiple regions of the Continent, but mostly they were from the places around the coast lines of Western and Central Africa. Contrary on the popular belief that the Europeans went to Africa and captured the native people, it was actually that the stronger local tribes were capturing people from the smaller weaker tribes and they were selling them to the Europeans to make a profit. The Europeans saw a great chance in this because they needed a lot of labor force for their plantations and used it to the maximum.
