The Portuguese slave trade in Africa developed through the establishment of trading posts along the West African coast in the 15th century. They initially traded goods for enslaved Africans captured by local African rulers. As demand for enslaved labor in the Americas increased, the Portuguese expanded their trading networks and began raiding inland communities for slaves.
