What was the route slave ships took?

Slave ships primarily followed the transatlantic slave trade route, which involved three main legs: the outward passage from Europe to Africa, where enslaved individuals were captured or purchased; the middle passage across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas, often characterized by horrific conditions; and the final leg, where goods produced by enslaved labor were transported back to Europe. This triangular trade system facilitated the exchange of enslaved people, raw materials, and manufactured goods among Europe, Africa, and the Americas.
