The four main regions that were sources of the transatlantic slave trade to the New World were West Africa, Central Africa, the Bight of Benin, and the Senegambia region. West Africa, particularly, was a significant area from which enslaved individuals were captured and sold. Central Africa also contributed a large number of enslaved people, while the Bight of Benin became notorious for its slave markets. The Senegambia region served as another key point for the capture and transportation of enslaved Africans to the Americas.
