INTRODUCTION
Overview
The Transatlantic Slave Trade, which commenced in 1510, was one of the most important times in the Caribbean history.

The conditions of the slaves were abysmal; however the Europeans only sought them to be nothing but profit from business trades. The Africans were torn apart from their families without a second glance and were put into an entirely different culture that changed their lives forever. This research therefore seeks to examine the transatlantic slave trade and how it has impacted on the West African
