Answer 1

The Atlantic slave trade refers to the transportation of the enslaved African people by the slave traders to America. It used the triangular trade route and it existed between the sixteenth to nineteenth century.

It created the 'African Diaspora' who are dispersed Africans living in other continents outside of Africa.
