Answer 1

During the era of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, Brazil saw the greatest number of slaves brought over from Africa. It is estimated that Brazil received more African slaves than any other country in the Americas, with approximately 4 million enslaved people brought to the region. The British-controlled Caribbean islands and French-controlled Caribbean islands also received significant numbers of enslaved Africans, but Brazil surpassed them in total numbers. The United States received a smaller proportion of the total trans-Atlantic slave trade.
