Final answer:

Most slaves taken from Africa were brought to the Caribbean, particularly to work on sugarcane plantations. While North America also participated in the slave trade, the majority ended up in the Caribbean.

Step-by-step explanation:

Most slaves taken from Africa to the Western Hemisphere ended up in the Caribbean. The transatlantic slave trade was a major part of the economic systems of the Caribbean during the 16th through 19th centuries. Sugar cane plantations, especially, demanded a high amount of labor force and slaves were brought from Africa to work on these plantations. Despite North America's significant involvement in the African slave trade, it was the Caribbean that received the majority of slaves.
