Answer 1

Answer:

Central and West Africa

Explanation:

The vast majority of slaves in the transatlantic slave trade were  from West and Central Africa, they are either purchased from other West Africans or   captured in coastal raids by the slave traders. The South Atlantic and Caribbean economies particularly relied on labour of slaves for the cultivation of sugarcane  plantation and other commodities. In the late 17th and 18th centuries, the enslavement was viewed as paramount by those Western European states which were competing with each other  for creation overseas empires.

The majority of the slaves that were forced to work on European plantations in the New World came from Africa, particularly countries and kingdoms on the west coast of Africa where slaver trading networks were already in place.
