2.1 Picturing History

Use the dropdown menus to complete the paragraph.

As demonstrated in the table “Total Number of Slaves Taken from Africa by Year and Country,” emerged as the leader and most prolific nation involved in the slave trade from 1600 to 1850. The total number of African slaves imported doubled in every fifty-year period until.

Use the dropdown menus to complete the paragraph.

Portugal and Spain emerged as leaders in the transportation of African slaves to the New World, due in part to their early presence in the Caribbean, Central America, and South America. Native populations in these areas were decimated by disease and war. To meet labor shortages, roughly million Africans are estimated to have been transported across the Middle Passage to work as slaves in the New World. The peak period of total slave trade occurred between 1751 and 1800, with transporting the most slaves to the Americas. Most African slaves, approximately 83%, were taken to work in. When calculated as a cumulative sum, from 1501 to 1866, Portugal was responsible for transporting approximately 45% of the total African slaves brought to the New World.
