Which is an accurate description of the transatlantic slave trade? A. Slaves went from Europe to Africa, and then to the Americas in a circle of trade. B. Africans were brought to the Americas in a three-part system of triangular trade. C. Native American slaves were sent to Europe in exchange for sugar and molasses. D. Africans traded tobacco and furs for captured Arabs whom they sold into slavery.
Is it A?
The majority of kidnapped Africans weren't already slaves in Africa. They were free people who were kidnapped to provide the labour that the European powers required to build their colonies in the Americas. The largest numbers of Africans – almost 5 million – were imported into Brazil, but enslaved Africans were sent to most of the colonies of South and Central America and the Caribbean, as well as to what became the United States.
So B ^^^ the traders, after getting the slaves from africa, would stop and the indies, carribeans, and then head to the americas
