The slave trade
Movement to end the slave trade and emancipate slaves in western Europe and the Americas.
African slaves were sold in Lisbon as early as 1441. The European discovery and colonization of the Americas set the scene for the trans-Atlantic slave trade. In the course of three hundred years, from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century, upwards of ten million black men, women and children arrived in the Americas as unwilling migrants. Millions more died on the journey to the Atlantic coast, and at sea. The slaves were all African. So too were most of those who first sold them. The buyers and shippers were Europeans. Slaves for the Trans-Atlantic slave trade were initially sourced in Senegambia and the Windward Coast. Around 1650 the trade moved to west-central Africa. As a result of the slave trade, five times as many Africans arrived in the Americas than Europeans. Slaves were needed on plantations and for mines and the majority was shipped to Brazil, the Caribbean, and the Spanish Empire. Less than 5% traveled to the Northern American States formally held by the British.

Kidnapping of African slaves by European slave traders began when the transatlantic slave trade started in the 15th century. This practice was widespread during the era of colonization in the Americas until the abolition of the slave trade in the 19th century.
European exploration in the Americas resulted in a decline of populations due to diseases brought to the New World to which the natives had no immunity. For Africans, this exploration saw the beginning of the Atlantic slave trade where millions were captured and resettled in the Americas.

The transatlantic slave trade.
What parts of Europe still had slavery when Christopher Columbus started the slave trade to the Americas?
The development of the Atlantic slave trade was driven by the increasing demand for labor on plantations in the Americas, particularly for sugar, tobacco, and cotton production. European colonization of the Americas created a need for a large workforce, leading to the capture and transportation of millions of Africans as slaves to the New World. Additionally, the introduction of the plantation system and the belief in African inferiority by Europeans played significant roles in perpetuating the slave trade.
