slave trade across the Atlantic Ocean between the 16th and 19th centuries
The Atlantic slave trade was the forced transportation of millions of enslaved Africans across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas between the 16th and 19th centuries. It matters because it was one of history's largest forced migrations, fundamentally shaping the development of the Americas, the economies of European nations, and the lives of African peoples and their descendants for centuries to come.
