Most slave ships first arrived in the Americas at ports in the Caribbean, particularly in places like Barbados, Jamaica, and Saint-Domingue (now Haiti). These locations served as major entry points for enslaved Africans before they were distributed to other colonies in North America and South America. The demand for labor in sugar plantations and other agricultural enterprises in the Caribbean drove this initial influx. Over time, the transatlantic slave trade expanded to include more destinations along the eastern coast of North America.
