What is the movement of slaves from Africa to the new world?

The movement of slaves from Africa to the New World is known as the transatlantic slave trade. This brutal process involved the forced transportation of millions of enslaved Africans to the Americas between the 16th and 19th centuries, primarily to work on plantations producing crops like sugar, tobacco, and cotton. Many enslaved individuals endured horrific conditions during the Middle Passage, leading to significant mortality rates. The trade had profound social, economic, and cultural impacts on both Africa and the Americas.
