    The document discusses the Atlantic slave trade between 1500-1880 CE. It notes that over 12 million slaves were forcibly moved from Africa to the Americas during this period, with approximately 2 million dying during the voyage. The majority of slaves (6.5 million) were sent to Brazil, followed by the Caribbean (4.5 million), with North America receiving the fewest (500,000). Europeans acquired slaves through raids and wars in Africa and traded goods like guns, alcohol and cloth to obtain slaves, which they transported in inhumane conditions to work plantations in the Americas growing crops like sugar, cotton and tobacco.
