The transatlantic slave trade had devastating effects on African civilizations, leading to significant population loss and societal disruption. Many communities were torn apart as millions of people were forcibly taken from their homes, creating a legacy of trauma and instability. Additionally, the trade fostered violence and conflict among African groups as they engaged in wars to capture individuals for sale. This destabilization hindered economic and social development, leaving lasting impacts on the continent.
The transatlantic slave trade began in the late 15th century, around the 1500s, and continued until the 19th century. It is commonly marked by the first major slave shipment in 1525 and saw millions of Africans forcibly transported to the Americas. The trade officially ended in different countries at various times, with Britain abolishing it in 1807 and the United States in 1808, while Brazil was one of the last countries to abolish the trade in 1888.
