Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade
The slaves were taken from Africa, back to the Americas of Europe
Most slaves taken during the triangular trade were sourced from West and Central Africa. Enslaved individuals were captured and transported to the Americas, where they were forced into labor on plantations and in other industries. This brutal trade was a key component of the triangular trade route, which connected Europe, Africa, and the Americas. The inhumane conditions of the Middle Passage, the sea journey from Africa to the Americas, resulted in significant loss of life among the enslaved.

It is estimated that between 10% to 20% of enslaved individuals did not survive the Middle Passage, the transatlantic voyage that transported them from Africa to the Americas. This mortality rate varied depending on factors such as the specific route, ship conditions, and the treatment of enslaved people during the journey. In total, millions of Africans were forcibly taken, and the Middle Passage is remembered as one of the most brutal aspects of the transatlantic slave trade.

The middle passage was a passage taken by boat from Africa to Spain for slave trade conducted by the US in the sixteen hundreds. It was a very brutal and dangerous trip as the slaves were treated horribly and many often died in the trip. My knowledge is basic, but I hope this helps.

No, most slaves did not come from Europe. The majority of slaves were taken from Africa and brought to the Americas during the transatlantic slave trade. This was a brutal and forced migration of millions of Africans who were enslaved and forcibly transported to work in the New World.
Africa
Slaves were transported through the triangular trade using ships. They were taken from Africa to the Americas on the Middle Passage, a brutal and inhumane journey that often resulted in the death of many enslaved individuals due to harsh conditions, disease, and mistreatment. The ships carried goods from Europe to Africa, exchanged for slaves, who were then transported to the Americas to be sold.
The trade route from Africa to the West Indies is called the 'blood passage' because slaves were picked up in Africa and taken to the West Indies. Slavers used to pick up far too many slaves for their ships to hold and so many died on the journey or were thrown overboard.
