USA: A slave family working in a cotton field at Savannah, Georgia, c. 1860

The Atlantic slave trade or transatlantic slave trade took place across the Atlantic Ocean from the 16th through to the 19th centuries. The vast majority of those enslaved that were transported to the New World, many on the triangular trade route and its Middle Passage, were West Africans from the central and western parts of the continent sold by western Africans to western European slave traders, or by direct European capture to the Americas. The numbers were so great that Africans who came by way of the slave trade became the most numerous Old World immigrants in both North and South America before the late 18th century. Far more slaves were taken to South America than to the north. The South Atlantic economic system centered on producing commodity crops, and making goods and clothing to sell in Europe, and increasing the numbers of African slaves brought to the New World.

Traduction automatique: La traite négrière atlantique ou traite transatlantique des esclaves a eu lieu à travers l?océan Atlantique du XVIe au XIXe siècle. La grande majorité des esclaves transportés vers le Nouveau Monde, dont beaucoup empruntaient la route commerciale triangulaire et son Passage du Milieu, étaient des Africains de l'Ouest originaires des régions centrales et occidentales du continent, vendus par des Africains de l'Ouest à des marchands d'esclaves d'Europe occidentale, ou par voie directe. Capture européenne vers les Amériques. Leur nombre était si grand que les Africains issus de la traite négrière sont devenus les immigrants de l'Ancien Monde les plus nombreux en Amérique du Nord et du Sud avant la fin du XVIIIe siècle. Beaucoup plus d?esclaves ont été emmenés en Amérique du Sud que vers le nord. Le système économique de l'Atlantique Sud était centré sur la production de cultures de base, la fabrication de biens et de vêtements destinés à être vendus en Europe et l'augmentation du nombre d'esclaves africains amenés dans le Nouveau Monde.
