During the era of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, which area saw the greatest number of slaves brought over from Africa?

Question

A. British-controlled Caribbean islands
B. United States
C. Brazil
D. French-controlled Caribbean islands

Answer 1

C. Brazil

During the era of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, Brazil received the greatest number of enslaved Africans, more than any other area. While British and French-controlled Caribbean islands also received many enslaved people, Brazil's demand for labor in its sugar cane and later coffee plantations led to the importation of millions of enslaved Africans.
