Answer:

In West Africa between 1500 and 1700 because the territorial borders are indicated in the present boundaries within modern West African states, usually ethnic associations among two or more states. The nonstop African trade continued, with the Portuguese taking numbers of people back to their country for use as workers but, it would not start on a grand scale till Christopher Columbus's journey to the Americas and the following search for affordable colonial labor.
