Many of the slaves who reached North America were originally captured by African coastal tribes and were sold by European slave traders. The majority of slaves in North America came from regions such as Senegambia, Bight of Benin, Kongo, and Bight of Biafra.

Step-by-step explanation:

Many of the slaves who reached North America were originally captured by African coastal tribes. The slave trade was facilitated by European slave traders who traded African captives for goods. The slaves were then transported across the Atlantic in horrific conditions, known as the Middle Passage, and sold to the highest bidder in the Americas. The majority of slaves in North America came from regions such as Senegambia, Bight of Benin, Kongo, and Bight of Biafra.
