Around 12 million were shipped from Africa to the Americas, of these around 1.8 million passed away before arriving . Millions more died within Africa in slave raiding, in forced movement to the coast or awaiting shipment. In total, the Atlantic trade may have caused the enslavement or death of 20 million, and the Arab and internal Afican trades perhaps a similar number.
