The transatlantic slave trade was very crucial to the plantation economy of the Southern colonies in America. These plantations required intensive labor and the owners were happy to exploit the slaves for their benefit. The transatlantic slave trade was first begun by the Portuguese and the Spanish in the 1400s. However, the volume of slaves traded was very minimal. However, after Britain became a powerful imperial nation, it was involved in trading a huge volume of slaves from West Africa to the Americas. Scholars estimate that more than 3 million people were traded as slaves by Britain and it was done in almost 10,000 voyages across Africa to America.
