a primary source description written by a slave
A diary written by a slave trader detailing his experiences and emotions during his voyages would be a more unusual source for studying the slave trade compared to official shipping records or abolitionist pamphlets.

The African slave trade involved the capture and forced transportation of Africans to be sold as slaves within Africa and to other regions like the Americas, Europe, and the Middle East. The American slave trade refers specifically to the transatlantic slave trade, which involved the forced transportation of Africans to the Americas to be enslaved on plantations. The American slave trade was a subset of the broader African slave trade.
Some Africans were involved in the transatlantic slave trade as intermediaries who captured and enslaved people to sell to European slave traders. Additionally, some African rulers and merchants profited from the trade by selling enslaved individuals in exchange for goods and weapons.
The Atlanta slave trade refers to the buying and selling of enslaved individuals in Atlanta, Georgia during the time of slavery in the United States. Atlanta served as a transportation hub for the domestic slave trade, facilitating the movement of enslaved people to other parts of the South.
The Atlantic slave trade did not benefit Africans. It led to the forced removal of millions of Africans from their homes, families, and communities, resulting in immense suffering, loss of life, and disruption of societies. The slave trade primarily benefited European and American slave traders, plantation owners, and industries that were built on the exploitation of enslaved Africans.
Fellow Africans were involved in the slave trade for various reasons, including profit, political power, and as a result of intertribal conflicts. European involvement also incentivized some African leaders to participate in the trade.
In the 1930's a group went to former slaves and interviewed them about their lives as slaves. The result was a book called To Be A Slave. Get it. It is a good source on slavery from the people who lived it.
It is important to study the slave trade so that future generations can understand the cruel inhumanity that people in the past practiced on each other so that we are not tempted to return to this type of behavior.

West Africa was most affected by the transatlantic slave trade, with countries such as Ghana, Senegal, Nigeria, and Benin serving as major sources of enslaved people. Additionally, East Africa, particularly regions around the Indian Ocean, was impacted by the Arab slave trade.
