The ‘Transatlantic Slave Trade’ took place over a period that spanned approximately three and a half decades, and was one of the most inhuman periods in human history because it involved the forceful transportation in bondage of millions of Africans from their countries over a period that spanned about three and a half centuries. The transportation of slaves during this period was cruel, dehumanizing, exploitative, awful, and ghastly, which explains it enduring impact on the face and character of the world. Through this trade, many western nations were able to enrich themselves because they slaves did not receive any payment for their work.
