The enslavement of Africans in the 17th century was different from previous forms of slavery in that it was based on race, with Africans being specifically targeted for bondage. This racialized form of slavery led to the development of the transatlantic slave trade, where millions of Africans were forcibly transported to the Americas to work on plantations. Additionally, African slaves in this period were often subjected to harsher treatment and enduring chattel slavery, meaning they were treated as property for life.
