In the 1400s, Portugal wanted to trade directly with Asia. They set up small trading posts. They traded muskets and tools for gold, ivory, hides, and slaves.
Rounding the Cape of Good Hope, they sailed up the East Coast.
In the 1500s, Europeans began trading for slaves on a large scale. Europeans relied on African rulers and traders to seize captives in the interior. There, the captives were exchanged for guns, rum, tobacco, and other goods. African slave traders brought captives to trading posts and forts on the coast of West Africa.
Over the next 300 years, the Atlantic slave trade grew into a huge and profitable business. Africans were sold to work on large plantations in North America, South America, and the Caribbean. A slave auction in the 1700s
Some African leaders unsuccessfully tried to stop the slave trade. Affonso I of Kongo had been converted to Christianity by Portuguese missionaries. In the 1500s, he tried to persuade Portugal to end the slave trade, but he was ignored. The transatlantic slave trade would last for 300 years.
The slave trade caused some small African states to disappear and powerful new slave- trading kingdoms to arise. In the late 1600s, Osei Tutu unified the powerful Asante kingdom in present-day Ghana. By conquering neighboring people and creating an efficient government, he gained monopolies over the gold and slave trades.
