Explanation:

Transatlantic slave trade refers to the period between 16th to the 19th centuries when African people were regularly captured by slave traders and being sold to various countries in European and American continent.

These slaves were sold mostly plantation in order to work for long hours without getting any form of payment. This make the plantation owners able to get high amount of income without having to spend much expenditures

Many of the traders target children's since they're the easiest to capture. Slave owners often purchase them since they're easily indoctrinated and can be 'trained' to be docile.
