False.
About 41% of enslaved Africans transported across the Atlantic did not come from the Bight of Benin — that approximate share actually reflects West Central Africa (the Kongo‑Angola region). The Bight of Benin supplied a much smaller portion (roughly around 10–15%, varying by period and destination). For detailed breakdowns see the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database (Voyages) for region- and period-specific numbers.
