Answer: The Atlantic Slave Trade is the time when multiple people (mostly from North America or the U.K.) would capture slaves and sell them to different countries. The slaves captured were used as manual labor, mostly working on cotton farms during the times of the U.S. one. They had many routes they took anywhere in the Atlantic Ocean. Not only did they go to the U.S. to sell slaves, they wen to the Caribbean and Cuba to pick up goods and sell slaves too.
