Answer:

The expansion of the African slave trade was a result of the demand for slaves in the colonial Americas.Tens of thousands of people were forcibly transported out of Africa to work on plantations, in mines and as domestic servants all over the Americas. The slave trade continued for hundreds of years, only ending in the nineteenth century. The slave trade increased because it was profitable. Those who controlled the trade - European slave-owners and traders, and African rulers and traders - benefited greatly from it. African rulers and traders were involved in the slave trade because selling slaves was a way to gain power and wealth.
