The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The question is incomplete in that it doesn't provide the map to answer it.

However, we can say the following. There are some maps of that time that indicate that Most of the African slaves were coming to America form the Middle and Western portion of the African continent. Those were the regions with most activity in that time. They were transported in inhuman conditions is ships, worse than animals. They were put in crowed spaces where they barely moved. There, the spread of infections and disease made many Africans die. When the ships arrived at the American coasts, slaves were sold to large plantation owners to work in the farm fields under harsh conditions.
