Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Historically, the Atlantic Trade route was a triangular route between Western Africa [where enslaved people were loaded onto ships], the West Indies, and Europe. Many enslaved people were sent to the West Indies, America, and South America. From there, they would be sold at slave auctions. Louisiana, when it became a state, was in the South, which relied heavily upon slave labor for their agricultural-based economy.
