The Atlantic slave trade, spanning from the late 15th to the mid-19th century and touching three continents, forcibly transported over 10 million Africans to the Americas. This historical atrocity left an indelible mark on those enslaved, their descendants, and the economic and cultural fabric of large parts of the world.
