Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ B. South America and the Caribbean ⚹ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and its Impact ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ During the trans-Atlantic slave trade, the largest volume of enslaved Africans was transported to South America and the Caribbean. This was due to the massive demand for labor on the sugar, coffee, and later, cotton plantations in these regions. European powers such as Portugal and Spain, followed by Britain, France, and the Netherlands, were heavily involved in this trade. The brutal system of plantation agriculture in the Caribbean and South American colonies required a large labor force, which was met through the importation of African slaves. The conditions were harsh, and the mortality rates were high, leading to a continuous demand for more slaves. It is estimated that over 10 million Africans were forcibly transported across the Atlantic to the Americas during the course of the slave trade. ⚹◊Which region played a dominant role in the trans-Atlantic slave trade in terms of receiving the largest number of slaves?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
