In the 1400's there was no Atlantic slave trade. It didn't begin until the American colonies used the slaves as part of the triangular trade. The first slave arrived in 1619, but it wasn't until the invention of the cotton gin that the slave population grew to millions of slaves in the southern states. There is a direct relationship between the bales of cotton produced and the number of slaves.

This is how it happened the first part of the triangular slave trade was the voyage from Europe to Africa. In Africa European slave traders bought enslaved Africans in exchange for goods shipped from Europe. The second part of the triangular slave trade was the voyage from Africa to the Americas. This is often called the Middle Passage. This was the part of the triangle where enslaved Africans were forcibly shipped across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas. On reaching the Americas those Africans who had survived the terrible journey were sold as slaves to work on plantations. The third and final part of the triangular slave trade was the return voyage from the Americas to Europe. Slave ships returned to Europe loaded with goods produced on plantations using slave labour. It could take slave ships up to one year to complete the entire triangular voyage

There were many slave trades, even some going on in these days, but I presume you mean the transatlantic slave trade from Africa. The ships went mainly to the Caribbean islands, which were colonies of European nations, thus not countries in their own right. The ships also went to Brazil and the northern part of South America, which was also colonised by European nations, chiefly Spain and Portugal, so the countreies as now on the map didn't exist then. Some ships went directly to the North American colonies, which became the USA after independance.

they got they start from European because Europeans began to enslave African who could be obtained from trading post along the African post Slavery in Africa predated European contact by thousands of years and was part and parcel of trade, commerce and wealth in African nations. The first European contact leading to the purchase of slaves was from with the Portuguese. Europeans did not go to Africa to "enslave" Africans but rather they went to Africa to purchase slaves already enslaved by African rulers. Excess population was seen as a source of wealth and a commodity of trade by African rulers. The concept of Europeans stalking Africans to make the slaves is factually inaccurate, a distortion of the reality of the African slave trade and has led to a distorted view of the African slave trade reinforcing racial bias for political purposes.
They are the people who come form the Caribbean islands neat the Gulf of Mexico. However their ancestry is probably part European and part African as the islands were settled during the slave trade.
