Slavery had existed in ancient civilisations like Egypt and Rome. In Africa for
thousands of years, people captured in wars had been enslaved. Muslim merchants
had traded in enslaved people since their seventh century trade routes had crossed
northern Africa and the Sahara Desert.
The transatlantic slave trade involved the enslavement of African people on a massive
scale and their transportation to the Americas. It began with the Portuguese in the
fifteenth century. Britain first became involved in the selling of enslaved people in the
sixteenth century. The first enslaved people in English territory arrived to work in the
Jamestown colony in Virginia in 1619. The trade reached its peak by the end of the
eighteenth century as enslavement became an important part of British trade, empire
and the Industrial Revolution, as well as the new country that gained its independence
from the British Empire in the eighteenth century – the United States of America.
