Where did the African slave trade take place?

The African slave trade primarily took place along the west and central coasts of Africa, where enslaved individuals were captured and sold. Key regions included the Bight of Benin, the Bight of Guinea, and the Congo River area. Enslaved Africans were then transported across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas and the Caribbean, where they were forced into labor on plantations and in mines. This brutal trade was part of a larger transatlantic system that affected millions of lives and shaped the economies of multiple continents.


Why did Europeans view African slaves as a better a source of labor than Native Americans?

There are 3 Answers! Be sure to get them all.AnswerAfricans were immune to the conditions and diseases. It was because the africans were already in contact with the europeans when they had started trading with one another. Europeans felt they could indur the climate because of their skin color. Many Native Americans started to die off because of the diseases. Alot of the native Americans also started to escape,fight back, and many of them died off. They also felt that Africans were cheaper. AnswerThe Native Americans were less resistant to the diseases that the Europeans brought over. The Portuguese and other sailors had already made the selling of African slaves an established trade. In North America, the settlers initially weren't in a position to take Native Americans as slaves because they lived a precarious existence that needed to be at peace with the Natives to continue. AnswerThere were more Africans available and the Europeans found it more pracitcal to buy Africans from Africans than to attempt to capture "Native Americans."


What country first brought Africans to the new world where did this country take the Africans where were most slave forts located?

The first country to bring Africans to the New World was Spain, which began transporting enslaved Africans to its colonies in the Caribbean in the early 16th century. These Africans were primarily taken to islands such as Hispaniola and Cuba. Most slave forts were located along the western coast of Africa, particularly in regions such as modern-day Ghana, Senegal, and Angola, where European powers established trading posts to facilitate the transatlantic slave trade.

Why was the Atlantic Slave trade called the Atlantic slave trade?

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

What happen in the triangle trade?

The Slave Trade Triangle. During the slave trade there were three stages (hence the name "the slave trade triangle"). In the first stage, Europeans bought enslaved Africans in exchange for goods shipped from Europe. In the second stage, Africans were forced onto ships to go across the Atlantic Ocean to America (also known as the "middle passage"). When finally reaching America, the Africans that had survived the intensely long journey were sold as slaves to work on plantations Finally, in the third stage, the Europeans would travel back to Europe loaded with goods produced on plantations using slave labour. It would take up to one whole year for the slave trade triangle to be completed.
